群论,从大一那个暑假开始,就一直在我心头萦绕着。每到夏天最酷热那几天我都会回忆起在杭州的第一个暑假,每天去玉泉校区上群论的讨论班,下午坐在没有空调的寝室汗流浃背地冥思苦想。只不过当时我物理学的还不多,对真正的数学又初识,现在剩下的也只是模模糊糊的一团,或是...

Although group theory is a mathematical subject, it is indispensable to many areas of modern theoretical physics, from atomic physics to condensed matter physics, particle physics to string theory. In particular, it is essential for an understanding of the fundamental forces. Yet until now, what has been missing is a modern, accessible, and self-contained textbook on the subject written especially for physicists.
Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists fills this gap, providing a user-friendly and classroom-tested text that focuses on those aspects of group theory physicists most need to know. From the basic intuitive notion of a group, A. Zee takes readers all the way up to how theories based on gauge groups could unify three of the four fundamental forces. He also includes a concise review of the linear algebra needed for group theory, making the book ideal for self-study.

按照书里说的,很庆幸在学生时代得到的一本书

评分适合物理向的第一遍群论吧,非常friendly 和pedagogical,只需要简单的线性代数基础就可以follow。例子非常多,因此理解也很容易。当然不大满意的是对置换群的介绍太少,也不讲杨图,总感觉张量表示的分解理解不到位。另外在李代数方面对compact以及semisimple的概念完全不提也不好,尽管是学物理的不需要了解很多证明,但是一些概念加上一些例子还是需要的。
评分没有cover任何ring,field之类的结构,if you are math-inclined person, find another textbook.
