Symmetries and groups in contemporary physics. proceedings of the XXIX International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics / Tianjin China, 20-26 August 2012 :
This volume focuses on developments in the field of group theory in its broadest sense and is of interest to theoretical and experimental physicists, mathematicians, and scientists in related disciplines who are interested in the latest methods and applications. In an increasingly ultra-specialized...
