Spin and Representations
Abstract
We derive the representation theory of SU(2) from the expository theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Based on this, the mathematics of non-relativistic quantum mechanics of a spin 12 particle are described from a representation-theoretic perspective, and are extended to many particle systems.
