Group Theory For High Energy Physicists

Group theory has played an exciting and significant role in the development of various disciplines of physics. This text provides an introduction to the group theory of the symmetries of the standard model of elementary particle physics. Suitable for graduate students, it assumes competence in intermediate physics but makes the material accessible for newcomers to the subject. The book covers group theory, group representations, continuous groups, as well as symmetry and Lie groups. It also presents numerous worked examples and problems.
