✦ Synopsis

Here is a detailed, self-contained work on the rotation and Lorentz groups and their representations. Treatment of the structure of the groups is elaborate and includes many new results only recently published in journals. The chapter on linear vector spaces is exhaustive yet clear, and the book highlights the fact that all results of the orthosynchronous proper Lorentz group may be obtained from those of the rotation group via complex quaternions. The approach is unified, and special properties and exceptional cases are addressed.

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 transfol•mations. If we further associate every elementary particle family with such a space we obtain a
