Get Ebooks Group Theory For The Standard Model Of Particle Physics And Beyond (Series In High Energy Physics, Cosmology And Gravitation)
Based on the author’s well-established courses, Group Theory for the Standard Model of Particle Physics and Beyond explores the use of symmetries through descriptions of the techniques of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The text develops the models, theoretical framework, and mathematical tools to understand these symmetries. After linking symmetries with conservation laws, the book works through the mathematics of angular momentum and extends operators and functions of classical mechanics to quantum mechanics. It then covers the mathematical framework for special relativity and the internal symmetries of the standard model of elementary particle physics. In the chapter on Noether’s theorem, the author explains how Lagrangian formalism provides a natural framework for the quantum mechanical interpretation of symmetry principles. He then examines electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions; spontaneous symmetry breaking; the elusive Higgs boson; and supersymmetry. He also introduces new techniques based on extending space–time into dimensions described by anticommuting coordinates. Designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, this text provides succinct yet complete coverage of the group theory of the symmetries of the standard model of elementary particle physics. It will help students understand current knowledge about the standard model as well as the physics that potentially lies beyond the standard model.

This book is a (perhaps too) quick graduate level review of the way symmetry appears in high energy physics as expressed in Lie groups and algebras. This text is neither an introduction nor an overview. Rather it is a brief statement of the ideas without proof and little motivation.The Kindle version is nicely presented as a print replica rather than the mobi format (which is quite ill suited to texts with significant mathematical content.)
Ohhhh! mind boggling thing!!!
