Symmetry (Physics)

Most popular at the top

  • Supersymmetric World, Theby G Kane; M Shifman

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 93.60

    The story of the discovery of supersymmetry is a fascinating one, unlike that of any other major development in the history of science. This engaging book presents a view of the process, mainly in the words of people who participated. It combines anecdotal descriptions and personal reminiscences with more technical accounts of the trailblazers, covering the birth of the theory and its first years - the origin of the idea, four-dimensional field theory realization, and supergravity. The eyewitnesses convey to us the drama of one of the deepest discoveries in theoretical physics in the 20th century. more...

  • Symmetries in Physicsby Katherine Brading; Elena Castellani

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 53.00

    This book brings together current philosophical discussions of symmetry in physics, highlighting the main issues and controversies. It covers all the fundamental symmetries of modern physics, as well as discussing symmetry-breaking and general interpretational issues. For each topic, classic texts are followed by review articles and short commentaries. more...

  • Harmonic Superspaceby A. S. Galperin; E. A. Ivanov; V. I. Ogievetsky; E. S. Sokatchev; P. V. Landshoff; D. R. Nelson; D. W. Sciama; S. Weinberg

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 54.00

    Inspired by exciting developments in superstring theory, this is the first pedagogical and comprehensive introduction to the harmonic superspace method in extended supersymmetry. The authors (credited with inventing the technique) are recognised as world experts on the subject and present a clear account of its formalism and applications. more...

  • Symmetries And Curvature Structure In General Relativityby G S Hall

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 83.20

    This is a text on classical general relativity from a geometrical viewpoint. Introductory chapters are provided on algebra, topology and manifold theory, together with a chapter on the basic ideas of space-time manifolds and Einstein's theory. There is a detailed account of algebraic structures and tensor classification in general relativity and also of the relationships between the metric, connection and curvature structures on space-times. The latter includes chapters on holonomy and sectional curvature. An extensive study is presented of symmetries in general relativity, including isometries, homotheties, conformal symmetries and affine, projective and curvature collineations. Several general properties of such symmetries are... more...

  • Weak Scale Supersymmetryby Howard Baer; Xerxes Tata

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 56.00

    A comprehensive, practical and accessible introduction to supersymmetry for particle physicists. It develops the concepts of supersymmetry into a framework for describing unified theories of elementary particles. It leads to a straightforward recipe for writing supersymmetric gauge theories and the calculations necessary for practical applications at colliders and in cosmology. more...

  • Supersymmetry and String Theoryby Michael Dine

    Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 79.00

    This is a comprehensive introduction to the recent developments in theoretical physics, covering supersymmetry, string theory, and astrophysics and cosmology. This will be of interest to graduates and researchers in the fields of particle theory, string theory, astrophysics and cosmology. The book contains several problems, with solutions available to lecturers. more...

  • Quantum Theory And Symmetries, Proceedings Of The 3rd International Symposiumby P. C. Argyres; T J Hodges; F Mansouri

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 153.00

    The book contains the text of lectures given at the third of a series of biennial symposia in mathematical physics held in odd-numbered years. The subject of the symposium is the frontiers of mathematical physics. It deals with quantum phenomena and includes topics such as string theory and quantum gravity, particle physics and field theory, non-communative geometry, integrable models and infinite dimensional symmetry groups, quantum computing and information processing, and quantum chaos. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. ? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings). ?

  • Symmetry And Perturbation Theory - Proceedings Of The International Conference On Spt2004by Giuseppe Gaeta; Barbara Prinari; Stefan Rauch-Wojciechowski

    World Scientific 2005; US$ 165.00

    This proceedings volume is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on SPT2004 focusing on symmetry, perturbation theory, and integrability. The book provides an updated overview of the recent developments in the various different fields of nonlinear dynamics, covering both theory and applications. Special emphasis is given to algebraic and geometric integrability, solutions to the N-body problem of the ?choreography? type, geometry and symmetry of dynamical systems, integrable evolution equations, various different perturbation theories, and bifurcation analysis. The contributors to this volume include some of the leading scientists in the field, among them: I Anderson, D Bambusi, S Benenti, S Bolotin, M Fels, W Y Hsiang,... more...

  • Searching For The Superworldby Sergio Ferrara; Rudolf M Mössbauer

    World Scientific 2007; US$ 166.40

    The “Superworld” is a subject of formidable interest for the immediate future of subnuclear physics to which Zichichi has contributed with a series of important papers of phenomenological and theoretical nature. These papers represent a must-have collection, not only for their originality but also for their complete analysis of expected scenarios on the basis of today’s knowledge of physics. The contributions are divided into two parts. The first deals with the problem of the convergence of the three fundamental forces of nature measured by the gauge couplings, with the onset of the energy threshold for the production of the lightest supersymmetric particles and with the existence of a gap between the string scale and the GUT... more...

  • Supersymmetry in Particle Physicsby Ian Aitchison

    Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 60.00

    The first textbook to provide a simple, practical introduction to supersymmetry for graduates and researchers. more...
