The Classical Groups: Their Invariants and Representations (Mathematics Series)

In this renowned volume, Hermann Weyl discusses the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Using basic concepts from algebra, he examines the various properties of the groups. Analysis and topology are used wherever appropriate. The book also covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which are of great importance in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics.Hermann Weyl is the author of 'The Classical Groups: Their Invariants and Representations (Mathematics Series)', published 1946 under ISBN 9780691079233 and ISBN 0691079234.
