Symmetries and Group Theory in Particle Physics An Introduction to Space-Time and Internal Symmetries
Symmetries, coupled with the mathematical concept of group theory, are an essential conceptual backbone in the formulation of quantum field theories capable of describing the world of elementary particles. This primer is an introduction to and survey of the underlying concepts and structures needed...
