Description
This graduate-level textbook explores the fundamental concepts of group theory and their applications to quantum mechanics. The author delves into the theoretical foundations of group representations and illustrates these principles through physical examples.
The text is structured around key topics, including the introduction of methods, the theory of systems with full rotational symmetry, and the systematic presentation of atomic structure. A comprehensive treatment of molecular quantum mechanics and solid-state physics follows, covering electronic energy band theory and magnetic crystal symmetry.
