Presents an exposition of the role of symmetry, particularly rotational symmetry, in quantum mechanics. This book covers the description of rotations (geometrically and group-theoretically) and their representations, and the quantum theory of angular momentum. It introduces advanced topics such as relativistic theory, supersymmetry, and anyons.

The path integral approach has proved extremely useful for the understanding of the most complex problems in quantum field theory, cosmology, and condensed matter physics. Path Integrals in Physics: Volume II, Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics and other Modern Applications covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. The book deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. It discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by a detailed...
