DESCRIPTION:
The principles of gauge symmetry and quantization are fundamental to modern understanding of the laws of electromagnetism, weak and strong subatomic forces and the theory of general relativity. It also covers aspects of Hamiltonian path integral formalism in detail, along with a number of related topics such as the theory of canonical transformations on phase space supermanifolds, non-commutativity of canonical quantization and elimination of non-physical variables. The discussion is accompanied by numerous detailed examples of dynamical models with gauge symmetries, clearly illustrating the key concepts.. Ideal for graduate students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics, thi
A. Prokhorov is a Leading Research Fellow at the V. His research focuses on gauge theories and the path integral formalism, including the topological defects in lattice gauge theories and applications of knot solitons to effective infrared Yang-Mills theories, along with nanophotonics and plasma physics. He is known for his work in the fields of effective Lagrangians, deep inelast
