The theory of group representations is a fundamental subject at the intersection of algebra, geometry and analysis, with innumerable applications in other domains of pure mathematics and in the physical sciences: chemistry, molecular biology and physics, in particular crystallography, classical and quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Topics include: - brisk review of the basic definitions and fundamental results of group theory, illustrated with examples; - representation theory of finite groups (Schur’s Lemma and characters) and, using Haar measure, its generalization to compact gro

Reflecting its author’s extensive experience in the classroom, this beautifully crafted text expertly balances current theory and research with practical skills and applications. Its presentation reflects the author’s belief that small group communication is best understood in context--whether in the workplace, in neighborhoods, in churches, social groups, or civic organizations. The thoroughly updated seventh edition cites more than one hundred recent studies.

The separate areas of Ordered Groups and Infinite Permutation Groups began to converge in significant ways about thirty years ago. Since then, the connection has steadily grown so that now permutation groups are essential to many who work in ordered groups. Ordered groups are of some interest to most of those who work in infinite permutation groups, and there are a number of mathematicians whose main work is exactly in ordered permutation groups, the combination of the two. This book represents the happy confluence of the two subjects, running the spectrum from purely infinite permutat

This text provides a comprehensive treatment of point and space groups and their meaning and applications. Its completeness makes it particularly useful as a textbook, since it gives the instructor the flexibility to best fit the class and goals. The instructor, not the author, decides what is in the course. Much of what is taught is folklore, things people know are true, but few know why or have seen proof (why are there 14 Bravais lattices? are the reasons geometrical, conventional or both? what determines the Wigner-Seitz cells?). Here these analyses are given, interrelated and in-depth. Th

This volume is based on the premise that in an era of rapid globalization, while there is a great deal of convergence on many aspects of group processes and interactions across national cultures, it is the understanding and appreciation of the divergence among people of different national cultural backgrounds that make all the difference. Contributors to this volume address two broad important questions: (1) Do our theories of groups and teams functioning apply universally? (2) How do our theories apply, if at all, in multicultural settings? In addition, this volume highlights new exciting to

Diversity results from the constellation of individual traits, characteristics, identities, experiences, and knowledge that individuals bring to a group. When individuals come together in groups, the similarities and differences among them may have a profound influence on how they feel, communicate, establish cohesion, deal with conflict, negotiate status differences, share and integrate information, develop ideas, make decisions, process information, and solve problems. The effects of diversity are broad and complex. Although there is a long history of research on diversity, researchers are d
