1. ed.

The purpose of these lectures is to apply group theory to the kinematics of quantum fields and to elementary particle theory by the use of j oincare group concepts. The first seetion contains a detailed presentation of the Poincare group and spinor algebra. The second section deals with the kinematics of quantum fields which are considered as operator concepts of the Poincare group. The laws of transformation by the Poincare group naturally lead to the Wigner unitary concepts in the space of particle states. Without involved mathematics a presentation is made of the Pauli theorem on the connection between spin and statistics, and of the Weinberg theorem on the connection between particles and fields.
