Part I begins with the most elementary symmetry concepts, showing how to express them in terms of matrices and permutations, before moving on to the construction of mathematical groups. For my PhD thesis I performed a work in group teory, precisely in the theory of representations, applied to quantum mechanics. For now, I'm going to talk group theory and physics, as the title suggests.

Show that the matrix representation of the dihedral group D4 by M is irreducible. Generally, when people talk about group theory in the context of physics, what they have in mind is representation theory. Matrices acting on the members of a vector space are assigned to every element of a group. I have seen the theory of I'm not saying that it's great, only that it's not bad for a physics book, and that I don't know a better place. Group representation theory lies at the heart of modern physics as the mathematical expression of symmetry, remaining perhaps the most promising vehicle for initial progress beyond relativity and the standard model.

This representation (and its complex conjugate, of course) is important in the simplest grand unified models in particle physics. One may say that (SU(5)) is an obvious extension of the QCD colorful group (SU(3)). Representation theory is the part of Group Theory which is used in the main applications. I am familiar with the representation theory of finite groups and Lie groups/algebra from the mathematical perspective, and I am wondering how quantum mechanics/quantum field theory uses concepts from representation theory.
