Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations

Zusatztext

Systematically emphasizes the role of Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their unitary representation theory in the foundations of quantum mechanics Introduces fundamental structures and concepts of representation theory in an elementary, physically relevant context Gives a careful treatment of the mathematical subtleties of quantum theory, without obscuring its global mathematical shape
