Particle Physics & Representation Theory: " Mathematical Symmetries of The Universe "

by Paul F. Kisak

There is a natural connection between particle physics and representation theory, as first noted in the 1930s by Eugene Wigner. It links the properties of elementary particles to the structure of Lie groups and Lie algebras. According to this connection, the different quantum states of an elementary particle give rise to an irreducible representation of the Poincar group. Moreover, the properties of the various particles, including their spectra,...
