About this ebook
Group Theory: And Its Application To The Quantum Mechanics Of Atomic Spectra aims to describe the application of group theoretical methods to problems of quantum mechanics with specific reference to atomic spectra. Chapters 1 to 3 discuss the elements of linear vector theory, while Chapters 4 to 6 deal more specifically with the rudiments of quantum mechanics itself. Chapters 7 to 16 discuss the abstract group theory, invariant subgroups, and the general theory of representations. These chapters are mathematical, although much of the material covered should be familiar from an elementary course in quantum theory. Chapters 17 to 23 are specifically concerned with atomic spectra, as is Chapter 25. The remaining chapters discuss topics such as the recoupling (Racah) coefficients, the time inversion operation, and the classical interpretations of the coefficients. The text is recommended for physicists and mathematicians who are interested in the application of group theory to quantum mechanics. Those who are only interested in mathematics can choose to focus on the parts more devoted to that particular area of the subject.

Reviews for Group Theory
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars
4/5
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A classic that I enjoyed immensely at the uni. Wigner has the rare gift of crystal clarity combined with the concern for his students. For most students group theory obviously is a mere tool, but this book made it a joy to study it for its own sake. Not recommended for holiday trips though.
