The author discusses symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Using basic concepts from algebra, he examines the various properties of the groups. The book also covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which are important in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics. 316 pp.In this text, the author analyzes the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Other topics covered include matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators and spinors.
