Sommario/riassunto

"Howard Georgi is the co-inventor (with Sheldon Glashow) of the SU(5) theory. This extensively revised and updated edition of his classic text makes the theory of Lie groups accessible to graduate students, while offering a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groups



can provide an insight into the development of unified theories of strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions."--Provided by publisher.
