✦ Synopsis

(Imperial College Press) A thorough discussion of group theory and Einstein's theory of gravitation. The first half of the text is devoted to rotation and Lorentz groups, and their representations. The second half is devoted to the applications of groups to the theory of general relativity. A link between field relativity theoreticians and general field relativity theoreticians.

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
