This book is a useful and accessible introduction to symmetry
principles in particle physics. New ideas are explained in a way
that throws considerable light on difficult concepts, such as Lie
groups and their representations. This book begins with
introdutions both to the types of symmetries known in physics and
to group theory and representation theory. Successive chapters deal
with the symmetric groups and their Young diagrams, braid groups,
Lie groups and algebras, Cartan's classification of semi-simple
groups, and the Lie groups most used in physics are treated in
detail. Gauge groups are discussed, and applications to elementary
particle physics and multiquark systems introduced throughout the
book where appropriate. Many worked examples are also included.
There is a growing interestinthe quatk structure of hadrons and in
theories of particle interactions based on the principle of gauge
symmetries. In this book the concepts of group theory are clearly
explained and their applications to subnuclear physics brought
up-to-date.
