A Who wrote "Ch 6 Groups & Representations in QM"?

[pellis]

Who really wrote the best introductory account of representation theory in QM that I've seen so far ? [Likely mis-attribution discussed here below; prefixed "Advanced" to reach lecturers who are more likely to know the answer to this question.]

It's available via https://www.semanticscholar.org/pap...show/6c20cf4f67a872355773eed9cf0d110807b71ac0

It's also available on other pedagogical sites, which justifies its popularity - but I would like to find the rest of the chapters as the level of explanation seems much better than usual.

Its authorship seems to be attributed to three Nobellists cited in a footnote (Weinberg, Glashow and Salam), in relation to the chapter-opening quote by one of them (Steven Weinberg). However, searching on their names I've been unable to locate a correspondong publication by any or all of them.

Can anyone identify the book and/or its author, from which this Chapter 6 has been excerpted?

Meanwhile, for anyone struggling with elementary representation theory in QM, I thoroughly recommend this chapter.

With thanks - Paul

Dear X - Thanks, but the whole point of my query is that I think the work has been misattributed - if you open it and look at the first page, there's a quote from Weinberg and a footnote indicating what I believe is the source of the quote, not the source of the book/chapter.

The only way I can see the attribution being correct is if the three of them (not all at the same institution) wrote the material as lecture notes - but I think that's unlikely.

Yes - That's it! Thank you so much, Dr Claude.
