It begins with the axioms of the Minkowski vector space and the flat spacetime manifold. Then it discusses the kinematics of special relativity in terms of Lorentz tranformations, and treats the group structure of Lorentz transformations. Extending the discussion to spinors, the author shows how a unimodular mapping of spinor (vector) space can induce a proper, orthochronous Lorentz mapping on the Minkowski vector space. The second part begins with a discussion of relativistic particle mechanics from both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian points of view. The book then turns to the relativistic (classical) field theory, including a proof of Noether‘s theorem and discussions of the Klein-Gordon, electromagnetic, Dirac, and non-abelian gauge fields. The final chapter deals with recent work on classical fields in an eight-dimensional covariant phase space. | | 出版日期 | Textbook 1993 | | 关键词 | Lorentz group; Lorentz transformation; Minkowski space; RMS; Relativity; Special relativity; special theor | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-0893-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-94042-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-0893-8Series ISSN 0172-5939 Series E-ISSN 2191-6675 | | issn_series | 0172-5939 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1993 |
