It includes a new chapter on four-velocities and boosts as points and straight lines of hyperbolic geometry. Quantum properties of relativistic particles are derived from the unitary representations of the Poincaré group. Notably, the massless representation is related to the concept of a Hopf bundle. Scattering theory is developed analogously to the non-relativistic case, relying on proper symmetry postulates. Chapters on quantum fields, reflections of charge, space, and time, and the necessary gauge symmetry of quantized vector fields complete the foundation for evaluating Feynman graphs. An extended appendix covers more than a dozen additional topics. The first half of this edition refines the first edition, using simple diagrams to explain time dilation, length contraction, and Lorentz transformations based on the invariance of the speed of light. The text derives key results of relativistic physics and resolves apparent paradoxes. Following a presentation of the action principle, Noether's theorem, and relativistic mechanics, the book covers the covariant formulation of electrodynamics and classical field theory. The groups of rotations and Lorentz transformations are also examined as a transition to relativistic quantum physics. This text is aimed at graduate students of physics and mathematics seeking an advanced introduction to special relativity and related topics. Its presentation of quantum physics aims to inspire fellow researchers.Physics and Astronomy SeriesSpecial relativity (Physics)GravitationMathematicsMathematical physicsSpecial RelativityClassical and Quantum GravityApplications of MathematicsTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational PhysicsSpecial relativity (Physics)Gravitation.Mathematics.Mathematical physics.Special Relativity.Classical and Quantum Gravity.Applications of Mathematics.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.530.110151Dragon Norbert1828553MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911010534603321Geometry and Quantum Features of Special Relativity4397469UNINA
