Description
Summary:Here is a detailed, self-contained work on the rotation and Lorentz groups and their representations. Treatment of the structure of the groups is elaborate and includes many new results only recently published in journals. The chapter on linear vector spaces is exhaustive yet clear, and the book highlights the fact that all results of the orthosynchronous proper Lorentz group may be obtained from those of the rotation group via complex quaternions. The approach is unified, and special properties and exceptional cases are addressed.
