Description and Table of Contents

Description

This work on the rotation and Lorentz groups and their representations provides an elaborate treatment of the structure of the groups, and includes many new results only recently published in journals and a chapter on linear vector spaces. A central fact is that all results of the orthosynchronous proper Lorentz group may be obtained from those of the rotation group via complex quaternions. Special properties and exceptional cases are addressed.

Table of Contents
