Some suggestions for further reading

(beyond the suggestions already made in the book):

  • An introduction to symmetries in physics, written by a mathematician (in German):
    M. Schottenloher: Geometrie und Symmetrie in der Physik. Vieweg-Lehrbuch Mathematische Physik, 1995. ISBN 3-528-06565-6.

  • Exceptional finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras are described in great detail in the web-book:
    P. Cvitanovic: Group theory, part II: exceptional Lie groups monograph , in progress.

  • If you want to see what kind of group theoretical structures are by now so common in high energy physics that they appear in the particle data group booklet, click here .

  • The atlas of finite groups is also available electronically.

  • A review about fusion rings in conformal field theory by Jürgen Fuchs:
    Fusion rules in conformal field theory.
    hep-th/9306162, published in Fortschr.Phys.42:1-48,1994.

  • A short introduction (in German) to conformal field theory by Martin Schottenloher.
    An english version is available in printed form:
    Martin Schottenloher, A mathematical introduction to conformal field theory
    Springer Lecture Notes in Physics, 1997.

  • Another introduction to conformal field theory is:
    Philippe di Francesco, Pierre Mathieu and David Senechal: Conformal Field Theory
    Springer Graduate Texts in contemporary physics, 1997.
