Description
Group Theory Methods in Physics. Instructor: Prof. P. Ramadevi, Department of Physics, IIT Bombay.
This course is a first course pitched at UG level so that the students can appreciate the wide applications of the group theory tools in other areas of Physics. Topics covered in this course include: introduction to discrete groups, subgroups and generators, conjugacy classes, symmetric groups, permutation group, cycle notation, direct product groups, semi-direct product groups, symmetries of molecules, point groups and stereographic projection, matrix representation of groups, Reducible and irreducible representation, great orthogonality theorem and character tables, Mulliken notation, tensor product, projection operator, observables, selection rules, Molecular vibrations, continuous groups, Lorentz transformations, orthogonal groups and Lie algebra, Wigner-Eckart theorem, hydrogen atom, and dynamical symmetry.
