Reference for rigorous treatment of the representation theory of the Lorentz group When I studied representation theory for the first time it was only focused on finite groups. It was the second half of a one semester course in group theory, and the book employed was "Representation Theory: A First Course" by Harris and Fulton.
Currently I'm studying Quantum Field Theory, and regarding spinors and quantum fields with spin, I'm interested in the representation theory of the Lorentz group.
I know the description of the fields with various spins is tightly connected to the irreducible representations of the Lorentz group.
Unfortunately, though, most traditional textbooks in QFT take a stand to not do a rigorous treatment of the matter, nor present a mathematicaly pleasant notation or definitions. Most of them speak quite loosely of the subject, that it doesn't even look connected to the representation theory I saw in the course I took.
Considering this, what I'm looking for is a book or lecture notes which presents a mathematicaly rigorous approach to the representation theory of the Lorentz group and also establish in a mathematicaly correct way the connection to quantum fields with spin and the representations of the Lorentz group. Is there such a resource out there?
 A: A classical and fairly complete (even if it is considered somewhat outdated by someone) reference is [1]: instead of describing its content, let me report the first sentences of the "Phisics Today" review of the book by J. E. Mansfield

Professor Gel'fand has performed another service to physicists with this study. There are a few place where one can find a treatment of the Lorentz group that is both coherent and complete.

Perhaps, even if it is a quite old reference, it is a nice place to start, even considering that a quite inexpensive Dover paperback reprint has been recently published.
Addendum. In the preface of of [1], the Authors recommend the monograph [2] (see here for a review published in the Journal of the London Mathematical Society) "... to the reader wishing to study the representation of the Lorenz group more thoroughly and at a greater length", in their own exact words ([1] p. xviii).
