The first two chapters cover all essential properties of Maxwell‘s equations, including their symmetries and their covariance in a modern notation. Chapter 3 is devoted to Maxwell theory as a classical field theory and to solutions of the wave equation. Chapter 4 deals with important applications of Maxwell theory. It includes topical subjects such as metamaterials with negative refraction index and solutions of Helmholtz‘ equation in paraxial approximation relevant for the description of laser beams..Chapter 5 describes non-Abelian gauge theories from a classical, geometric point of view, in analogy to Maxwell theory as a prototype, and culminates in an application to the U(2) theory relevant for electroweak interactions. The last chapter 6 gives a concise summary of semi-Riemannian geometry as the framework for the classical field theory of gravitation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the Schwarzschild solution of Einstein‘s equations and the classical tests of general relativity (perihelion precession of Mercury, and light deflection by th | 出版日期 | Textbook 20121st edition | 关键词 | General Relativity; Maxwell Theory; Riemann Geometry; non-Abelian gauge theories; rnetamaterials with ne | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-27985-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-43128-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-27985-0Series ISSN 1868-4513 Series E-ISSN 1868-4521 | issn_series | 1868-4513 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 |
