Produktbeschreibung

The book intends to focus on Lie group representations in the quantum context for graduate students and researchers taking courses in theoretical physics. Special emphasis is given to the explanation of the topics like Lie group families, spinors, real symplectic groups coherent states, their representations and Lie groups acting on space-time.
