Lie Algebras In Particle Physics: from Isospin To Unified Theories by Howard Geo

Description: Lie Algebras In Particle Physics by Howard Georgi This revised and updated edition of Howard Georgis text explains the theory of Lie groups, and offers a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groups can provide and insight into the development of unified theories of strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.
