Elements of Group Theory
by F. J. Yndurain
Publisher: arXiv 2007
Number of pages: 65
Description:
The following notes are the basis for a graduate course. They are oriented towards the application of group theory to particle physics, although some of it can be used for general quantum mechanics. They have no pretense of mathematical rigor.

Algebraic Groups, Lie Groups, and their Arithmetic Subgroupsby J. S. Milne
This work is a modern exposition of the theory of algebraic group schemes, Lie groups, and their arithmetic subgroups. Algebraic groups are groups defined by polynomials. Those in this book can all be realized as groups of matrices.
