Energy and Geometry: An Introduction to Deformed Special Relativity (World Scientific Series in Contemporary Chemical Physics)

This book discusses in detail the mathematical aspects and physical applications of a new geometrical structure of space-time. It is based on a generalization ("deformation") of the usual Minkowski space, supposedly endowed with a metric whose coefficients depend on the energy. Energy and Geometry: Geometrical Description of Interactions is suitable for researchers, academics and students in mathematical and theoretical physics. This Book Discusses In Detail The Mathematical Aspects And Physical Applications Of A New Geometrical Structure Of Space-time. It Is Based On A Generalization (deformation) Of The Usual Minkowski Space, Supposedly Endowed With A Metric Whose Coefficients Depend On The Energy.--book Jacket. I.
