Focuses on Lie groups. Lie algebras and generating functions, both for standard special functions and for solution of certain types of physical problems. This is an informal treatment of these topics intended for physics graduate students or others wanting an informal introduction to the subjects addressed.
This book is a sequel to Lectures on Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics: Introduction to Lie theory with applications. This volume is devoted mostly to Lie groups. Lie algebras and generating functions, both for standard special functions and for solution of certain types of physical problems. It is an informal treatment of these topics intended for physics graduate students or others with a physics background wanting a brief and informal introduction to the subjects addressed in a style and vocabulary not completely unfamiliar.
