Group Theory and Its Applications in Physics (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, Vol 78)

Book Description
This textbook presents a careful introduction to group theory and its applications in atomic, molecular, and solid-state physics. The reader is provided with the necessary background on the mathematical theory of groups and then shown why group theory is a powerful tool for solving physics problems. Worked examples and exercises with hints and answers encourage self-study, and the inclusion of some advanced material, such as the theory of induced representations and ray representations, Racah theory of atomic spectra, and Laudau theory of second-order phase transitions, should interest professionals.
