Tóm tắt

Symmetry played a central role in the works of E.P. Wigner. He made a great contribution to the extension and reinterpretation of the concept of symmetry. He proposed a new classification. The paper investigates in the light of Wigner’s works how do we see now the classification of physical symmetries.
