Geometry, Symmetries, and Classical Physics
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-0-367-53523-0 (ISBN)
Most of the topics covered in this book have previously only been scattered across many different sources of literature, therefore this is the first book to coherently present this treatment of topics in one comprehensive volume.
Key features:
- Contains a modern, streamlined presentation of classical topics, which are normally taught separately
- Includes several advanced topics, such as the Belinfante energy-momentum tensor, the Weyl-Schouten theorem, the derivation of Noether currents for diffeomorphisms, and the definition of conserved integrals in general relativity
- Focuses on the clear presentation of the mathematical notions and calculational technique
Manousos Markoutsakis is the Director of AI and HPC (Europe) at DataDirect Networks Inc, where he is responsible for managing the company's engagements in industry and academic institutions. Previously, he worked at IBM, where he was responsible for the company's private-public collaborations in European research and industry. He graduated in physics at the University of Heidelberg, where he worked on nonperturbative QCD. Manousos is a member of the German Physical Society (DPG) and the Bitkom Association.
