Semi-Simple Lie Algebras and Their Representations by Robert N. Cahn Designed to acquaint students of particle physics already familiar with SU(2) and SU(3) with techniques applicable to all simple Lie algebras, this text is especially suited to the study of grand unification theories. 1984 edition.
Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, and Some of Their Applications by Robert Gilmore This text introduces upper-level undergraduates to Lie group theory and physical applications. It further illustrates Lie group theory's role in several fields of physics. 1974 edition. Includes 75 figures and 17 tables, exercises and problems.
Beta Decay for Pedestrians by Harry J. Lipkin Graduate-level text presents aspects of beta decay that can be understood without formal theory, making a clear distinction between results dependent and independent of assumptions underlying the theory. 1962 edition.
Group Theory by W. R. Scott Here is a clear, well-organized coverage of the most standard theorems, including isomorphism theorems, transformations and subgroups, direct sums, abelian groups, and more. This undergraduate-level text features more than 500 exercises.
