Abstract
In nature we often deal with many-body systems that are described in terms of particles that are not elementary but themselves composite. Examples of such composite particles are hadrons, atoms, phonons, and Cooper pairs. For the description of systems consisting of such composite particles in terms of the underlying degrees of freedom group theory plays an important role, in particular the symmetric group to describe the permutational symmetry of the wave function of the system, and unitary groups to describe the symmetry forced on the system by the interaction between the particles.
