About the Authors
  • Wigner's theorem is a fundamental part of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. The theorem characterizes unitary and anti-unitary operators as symmetries of quantum mechanical systems, and is a key result when relating preserver problems to quantum mechanics. At the heart of this book is a geometric approach to Wigner-type theorems, unifying both classical and more recent results. Readers are initiated in a wide range of topics from geometric transformations of Grassmannians to lattices of closed subspaces, before moving on to a discussion of applications. An introduction to all the key aspects of the basic theory is included as are plenty of examples, making this book a useful resource for beginning graduate students and non-experts, as well as a helpful reference for specialist researchers.

    • Contains a brief description of all necessary facts from the basic theory, making the book accessible for graduate students and non-expert researchers
    • Describes connections between different branches of mathematics, including incidence geometry, graph theory and quantum mechanics
    • Creates a unified approach by applying geometric methods to preserver problems in quantum mechanics
