ISBN: 3642005403 ISBN-13: 9783642005404 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $75.99 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: September 2009 Annotation: "Geometry and Physics" addresses mathematicians who want to understand modern physics, and physicists who want to learn geometry. Juergen Jost, well known as research mathematician and advanced textbook author, gives a concise introduction to modern theoretical high energy physics from the perspective of Riemannian geometry and at the same time develops the important geometric concepts and methods so that they can be used for the structures of physics. In particular, the Lagrangians of the standard model and its supersymmetric extensions are discussed from a geometric perspective. |

| Publisher Description: "Geometry and Physics" addresses mathematicians wanting to understand modern physics, and physicists wanting to learn geometry. It gives an introduction to modern quantum field theory and related areas of theoretical high-energy physics from the perspective of Riemannian geometry, and an introduction to modern geometry as needed and utilized in modern physics. J rgen Jost, a well-known research mathematician and advanced textbook author, also develops important geometric concepts and methods that can be used for the structures of physics. In particular, he discusses the Lagrangians of the standard model and its supersymmetric extensions from a geometric perspective. |
