Classical Covariant Fields / Mark Burgess  

Public ISBD Titre : Classical Covariant Fields Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Mark Burgess, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 554 p. Présentation : ill. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-00-928988-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Open Access Publications Tags : Classical field theory  Covariant formulation  Spacetime symmetry  Lagrangian density  Action principle  Tensor fields  Gauge invariance  Energy-momentum tensor  Field equations  Special relativity Index. décimale : 530 physique Résumé : This 2002 book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. It explores the limits of what can be achieved with purely classical notions, and shows how these have a deep and important connection with the second quantized field theory, which follows on from the Schwinger Action Principle. The book takes a pragmatic view of field theory, focusing on issues which are usually omitted from quantum field theory texts and cataloging results which are hard to find in the literature. Care is taken to explain how results arise and how to interpret them physically, for graduate students starting out in the field. An ideal supplementary text for courses on elementary field theory, group theory and dynamical systems, it is also a valuable reference for researchers working in these and related areas.
