Course Overview
The Group Theory Methods In Physics Training course will provide the candidate an understanding of basic group theory methods in physics within a systematic manner. The course will cover the topics like Mulliken notation, great orthogonality theorem, and character tables, root vector diagrams, conjugacy classes, and unitary groups, subgroups and generators, weight vector diagrams, and basic introduction to discrete groups, su(2), su(3).
The Group Theory Methods In Physics Programme will be having an instructor from IIT Bombay where the course e-certificate will be provided to candidates with the logo of NPTEL and IIT Bombay. The duration will be 12 weeks with online learning.
The participants' Group Theory Methods In Physics by Swayam will provide the candidate to go in-depth knowledge of orthogonal groups and lie algebra with continuous groups, generators, Lorentz transformation and quark model, su(3) baryons, mesons, Wigner-Eckart theorem, a hydrogen atom, dynamical symmetry. The experience of the instructor will help the candidate in solving the problems in a proper manner.
