This book provides an introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and repreΒ sentation theory, aimed at graduate students in mathematics and physics. Although there are already several excellent books that cover many of the same topics, this book has two distinctive features that I hope will make it a
This book addresses Lie groups, Lie algebras, and representation theory. In order to keep the prerequisites to a minimum, the author restricts attention to matrix Lie groups and Lie algebras. This approach keeps the discussion concrete, allows the reader to get to the heart of the subject quickly, a
With the help of a new representation of the Lorentz group in terms of complex relativistic Euler angles we determine a specific set of finite-dimensional vector spaces irreducible under Lorentz transfolβ’mations. If we further associate every elementary particle family with such a space we obtain a
