Topology and differential geometry -- pt. 2. Group theory and structure and representations of compact simple lie groups and algebras. 330 $aThis book presents a survey of Topology and Differential Geometry and also, Lie Groups and Algebras, and their Representations. The first topic is indispensable to students of gravitation and related areas of modern physics, (including string theory) while the second has applications in gauge theory and particle physics, integrable systems and nuclear physics. Part I provides a simple introduction to basic topology, followed by a survey of homotopy. Calculus of differentiable manifolds is then developed, and a Riemannian metric is introduced along with the key concepts of connections and curva 606 $aMathematical physics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 676 $a530 676 $a530.15 700 $aMukhi$b Sunil$0926240 701 $aMukunda$b N$048676 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456199403321 996 $aLectures on advanced mathematical methods for physicists$92079785 997 $aUNINA
