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
