Group theory has long been an important computational tool for physicists, but, with the advent of the Standard Model, it has become a powerful conceptual tool as well. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this book gives a comprehensive overview of the main aspects of both finite and continuous group theory, with an emphasis on applications to fundamental physics. This book introduces physicists to many of the fascinating mathematical aspects of group theory, and mathematicians to its physics applications.
Lie algebras, and to a lesser extent Kac-Moody algebras, are treated in detail, including Dynkin diagrams. Finite groups are extensively discussed, highlighting their irreducible representations and invariants. Special emphasis is given to their representations and embeddings.
The group theory underlying the Standard Model is discussed, along with its importance
