Lie Algebras In Particle Physics: from Isospin To Unified Theories van Howard Georgi is an English-language textbook that focuses on the application of Lie algebras in particle physics. This reference work is intended for students in higher education and professionals who are interested in the theories behind the unification of fundamental interactions.
Howard Georgi, co-developer of the SU(5) theory, offers in this revised and expanded edition an accessible introduction to Lie groups. The book explains how knowledge of Lie algebras can shed light on the development of unified theories that connect the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces.
This study book connects with fields such as applied mathematics and physics, and covers topics that are relevant for researchers and students who delve into isospin to unified theory within particle physics.
