A. Zee is professor of physics at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His books include "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell", "Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell", and "Fearful Symmetry: The Search for Beauty in Modern Physics" (all Princeton).
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.

群論,從大一那個暑假開始,就一直在我心頭縈繞著。每到夏天最酷熱那幾天我都會迴憶起在杭州的第一個暑假,每天去玉泉校區上群論的討論班,下午坐在沒有空調的寢室汗流浹背地冥思苦想。隻不過當時我物理學的還不多,對真正的數學又初識,現在剩下的也隻是模模糊糊的一團,或是...

#洛倫茲群內容較少,其他部分很清晰
評分沒有cover任何ring,field之類的結構,if you are math-inclined person, find another textbook.
評分4.1 pro # 4.2 pro # 4.3 pro # 4.4 pro # 4.5 pro # 4.6 4.8 4.9 4.i1 # 4.i2 # 4.i3 pro # 4.i4 # 5.1 5.2 pro
評分適閤物理嚮的第一遍群論吧,非常friendly 和pedagogical,隻需要簡單的綫性代數基礎就可以follow。例子非常多,因此理解也很容易。當然不大滿意的是對置換群的介紹太少,也不講楊圖,總感覺張量錶示的分解理解不到位。另外在李代數方麵對compact以及semisimple的概念完全不提也不好,盡管是學物理的不需要瞭解很多證明,但是一些概念加上一些例子還是需要的。
評分第四章快看完瞭,就打算看到第六章Cartan classification那邊,之後的留著在看hhh總的來講感受非常好,看他用一些簡單的物理的方式證明一些定理非常爽
