  • Not Even Wrong

    The Failure of String Theory and the Continuing Challenge to Unify the Laws of Physics

    by Peter Woit ...
    Not Even Wrong is a fascinating exploration of our attempts to come to grips with perhaps the most intellectually demanding puzzle of all: how does the universe work at its most fundamnetal level?The book begins with an historical survey of the experimental and theoretical developments that led to the creation of the phenomenally successful 'Standard Model' of particle physics around 1975. Despite ... Read more

  • Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations

    An Introduction

    by Peter Woit ...
    This text systematically presents the basics of quantum mechanics, emphasizing the role of Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their unitary representations. The mathematical structure of the subject is brought to the fore, intentionally avoiding significant overlap with material from standard physics courses in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The level of presentation is attractive to ... Read more

  • Quantum

    A Guide For The Perplexed

    by Jim Al-Khalili ...
    From Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world.Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it, you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be ... Read more

  • Once Before Time

    A Whole Story of the Universe

    by Martin Bojowald ...
    In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity—a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics—to create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmology was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of ... Read more

  • The Biggest Secret Of Our Universe: Grand Unified Theory Discovered and Why Einstein Got It Wrong

    by R Krishna ...
    In this book, errors in some of the current theories in Physics are described and the Grand Unified Theory has been derived and presented. This book completes the quest for the holy grail of Physics, the Grand Unified Theory. The book also strives to peek into the mind of Einstein and to understand why he failed to discover this theory. ... Read more

  • Quantum Theory for Mathematicians

    by Brian C. Hall ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Although ideas from quantum physics play an important role in many parts of modern mathematics, there are few books about quantum mechanics aimed at mathematicians. This book introduces the main ideas of quantum mechanics in language familiar to mathematicians. Readers with little prior exposure to physics will enjoy the book's conversational tone as they delve into such topics as the Hilbert ... Read more

  • The Schrödinger-Virasoro Algebra

    Mathematical structure and dynamical Schrödinger symmetries

    by Jérémie Unterberger, Claude Roger ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This monograph provides the first up-to-date and self-contained presentation of a recently discovered mathematical structure—the Schrödinger-Virasoro algebra. Just as Poincaré invariance or conformal (Virasoro) invariance play a key rôle in understanding, respectively, elementary particles and two-dimensional equilibrium statistical physics, this algebra of non-relativistic conformal symmetries ...

  • Coherent States, Wavelets, and Their Generalizations

    by Syed Twareque Ali, Jean-Pierre Antoine, Jean-Pierre Gazeau ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This second edition is fully updated, covering in particular new types of coherent states (the so-called Gazeau-Klauder coherent states, nonlinear coherent states, squeezed states, as used now routinely in quantum optics) and various generalizations of wavelets (wavelets on manifolds, curvelets, shearlets, etc.). In addition, it contains a new chapter on coherent state quantization and the related ... Read more

  • Mathematical Aspects of Quantum Field Theory

    by Edson de Faria, Welington de Melo ...
    Series Book 127 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    Over the last century quantum field theory has made a significant impact on the formulation and solution of mathematical problems and inspired powerful advances in pure mathematics. However, most accounts are written by physicists, and mathematicians struggle to find clear definitions and statements of the concepts involved. This graduate-level introduction presents the basic ideas and tools from ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Non-Abelian Discrete Symmetries for Particle Physicists

    by Hajime Ishimori, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Hiroshi Ohki, Hiroshi Okada, Yusuke Shimizu, Morimitsu Tanimoto ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    These lecture notes provide a tutorial review of non-Abelian discrete groups and show some applications to issues in physics where discrete symmetries constitute an important principle for model building in particle physics. While Abelian discrete symmetries are often imposed in order to control couplings for particle physics - in particular model building beyond the standard model - non-Abelian ... Read more
