Introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the need for a concise introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams, particularly their applications in physics, including the standard model. The user seeks resources that provide detailed examples and are more accessible than comprehensive group theory textbooks. The recommended resource is the appendix in Sternberg's book "Group Theory and Physics," which offers a reasonable discussion on these topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Young-tableaux
  • Familiarity with weight diagrams
  • Basic knowledge of group theory
  • Awareness of the standard model in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Sternberg's "Group Theory and Physics" for detailed examples
  • Research applications of Young-tableaux in particle physics
  • Study the relationship between weight diagrams and representation theory
  • Investigate other resources dedicated to group theory in physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, mathematicians, and students interested in group theory applications, particularly those focusing on the standard model and related fields.

I am looking for a short pedagogical introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams and the relationship between them, which contains many detailled and worked out examples of how these methods are applied in physics, such as in the context of the standard model and beyond for example.

I am rather looking for a resource that is dedicated specifically to this topics, which I can easily print out, conversely to a heavy general group-theory textbook.

The only reasonable discussion I am aware off can be found in the appendix in Sternbergs book on "group theory and physics".
