Symmetries, coupled with the mathematical concept of group theory,
are an essential conceptual backbone in the formulation of quantum
field theories capable of describing the world of elementary
particles. This primer is an introduction to and survey of the
underlying concepts and structures needed in order to understand
and handle these powerful tools. Specifically, in Part I of the
book the symmetries and related group theoretical structures of the
Minkowskian space-time manifold are analyzed, while Part II
examines the internal symmetries and their related unitary groups,
where the interactions between fundamental particles are encoded as
we know them from the present standard model of particle physics.
This book, based on several courses given by the authors, addresses
advanced graduate students and non-specialist researchers wishing
to enter active research in the field, and having a working
knowledge of classical field theory and relativistic quantum
mechanics. Numerous end-of-chapter problems and their solutions
will facilitate the use of this book as self-study guide or as
course book for topical lectures.
