Lie Algebras In Particle Physics: from Isospin To Unified Theories (Frontiers in Physics)

US Books > Professional & Technical > Professional Science > Mathematics > Pure Mathematics > Algebra > Abstract

Howard Georgi is the co-inventor (with Sheldon Glashow) of the SU(5) theory. This extensively revised and updated edition of his classic text makes the theory of Lie groups accessible to graduate students, while offering a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groups can provide an insight into the development of unified theories of strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions.
