Abstract
Given a mathematical structure, one of the basic associated objects is its automorphism group. In differential geometry, manifolds are equipped with a differ-entiable structure and the objects of study are the diffeomorphism group and its subgroups. In quantum mechanics, the observables form a non-Abelian algebra. In some of the more accessible cases, this algebra is a simple C*-algebra, and the objects of study are the associated groups of automorphisms. These are the quantum mechanical symmetry groups.
