جبرهای Lie در فیزیک ذرات: از ایزوسپین تا نظریه‌های یکپارچه (مرزهای فیزیک، جلد 54)

Howard Georgi is the co-inventor (with Sheldon Glashow) of the SU(5) theory. This extensively revised and updated edition of his classic text makes the theory of Lie groups accessible to graduate students, while offering a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groups can provide an insight into the development of unified theories of strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. "These lectures grew out of a Harvard physics course first taught by John Van Vleck (1977 Nobel Prize) then continued by Sheldon Glashow (1979 Nobel Prize) and Sidney Coleman, and now by Howard Georgi, the author of this book. Students will find that the book enables them to apply the theory of Lie Algebras and their representations to a wide variety of problems in particle physics and quantum mechanics. This is a key technique for researchers engaged in finding the unified theories that will unite the four forces of nature: electromagnetic, gravitational, weak, and strong nuclear forces - that is, the so-called "theories of everything.""--BOOK JACKET. This textbook applies Lie Group theory to a variety of problems. The theory is a key technique for researchers seeking the unified theories that will unite the four forces of nature - electromagnetic, gravitational, weak and strong nuclear forces. Howard Georgi.
