The Collected Works of Eugene Paul Wigner

Eugene Wigner is one of the few giants of 20th-century physics. The present first volume of his collected works begins with a short biographical sketch followed by papers on group theory, an extremely powerful tool he created for theoretical quantum physics. They are presented in two parts. The first covers applications to atomic and molecular spectra, term structure, time reversal, and spin. The second includes the mathematical papers, among them the famous paper on the Lorentz group.
