Description for Classical Theory of Gauge Fields
Hardback. Provides the means to master gauge field theory prior to the advanced study of quantum mechanics. This book begins with the basic concepts on which gauge field theory is built. It introduces gauge-invariant Lagrangians and describes the spectra of linear perturbations, including perturbations above nontrivial ground states. Translator(s): Wilson, Stephen S. Num Pages: 456 pages, 1, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 799.
Based on a highly regarded lecture course at Moscow State University, this is a clear and systematic introduction to gauge field theory. It is unique in providing the means to master gauge field theory prior to the advanced study of quantum mechanics. Though gauge field theory is typically included in courses on quantum field theory, many of its ideas and results can be understood at the classical or semi-classical level. Accordingly, this book is organized so that its early chapters require no special knowledge of quantum mechanics. Aspects of gauge field theory relying on quantum mechanics are introduced only later ... Read more

Reviews for Classical Theory of Gauge Fields
"Classical Theory of Gauge Fields is indeed ... unique ... and without alternative for all those who want to immerse themselves in this particular area of theoretical physics."
