Uma introdução à física de partículas elementares: Teoria de Grupos
Journal Title: Jornal Mato-Grossense de Física - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Group theory, although often overlooked, is a subject that, besides being very important, possesses unparalleled beauty concerning the structure of physical theories. It brings us an intimate relationship between symmetries and conservation laws through Noether’s theorem. This work, therefore, presents an introduction to the definition of a group, specifying some of its properties and most important characteristics such as homomorphisms and representations. It provides examples and descriptions of groups of finite and infinite order, continuous or discrete. The most important class of groups for physics in general is the class of Lie groups, especially the groups U(1), SU(2), SU(3), SO(3), and Poincaré, which play a fundamental role in the physics of elementary particles.
