商品描述

This book explores the essential role of symmetry in physics, with a focus on its dynamic presence in special relativity (SR) and its implications for modern physical theories. By examining symmetry transformations and their connection to conservation laws and covariance, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of these foundational concepts.

The chapters cover a range of topics, including the Lorentz group, relativistic transformations, and the covariance of Maxwell's equations. Readers will delve into the mathematical structure of the Lorentz group, its integration with relativistic mechanics, and its application in electrodynamics. Special topics such as Lie groups, the homomorphism with SL(2, C), and the independence of Maxwell's equations are explored, offering a detailed view of the coherence and elegance of the covariant formulation of the Maxwell system.

Designed for those with a basic understanding of special relativity and electrodynamics, this book is an advanced supplement to introductory texts. It is particularly beneficial for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and academics in physics who wish to deepen their knowledge of symmetry and its significance in high-energy physics. The inclusion of detailed solutions to problems makes it suitable for self-study, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mathematical and theoretical underpinnings of modern physics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討對稱在物理學中的基本角色，特別關注其在特殊相對論（SR）中的動態存在及其對現代物理理論的影響。通過檢視對稱變換及其與守恆定律和協變性的關聯，讀者將全面理解這些基礎概念。

各章節涵蓋多個主題，包括洛倫茲群、相對論變換以及麥克斯韋方程的協變性。讀者將深入研究洛倫茲群的數學結構、其與相對論力學的整合，以及在電動力學中的應用。特別主題如李群、與 SL(2, C) 的同態以及麥克斯韋方程的獨立性也將被探討，提供對麥克斯韋系統協變性表述的連貫性和優雅性的詳細視角。

本書旨在為具備基本特殊相對論和電動力學知識的讀者提供進階補充，特別適合希望深入了解對稱及其在高能物理中重要性的本科生、研究生、研究人員及學者。書中包含詳細的問題解答，使其適合自學，為任何對現代物理的數學和理論基礎感興趣的人提供寶貴資源。

作者簡介

Dr. Costas J. Papachristou is a senior faculty member at the Hellenic Naval Academy (The Naval Academy of Greece). He received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Brigham Young University, USA, and spent another year at BYU as a research faculty in physics. At the HNA, he teaches freshman- and sophomore-level physics. His research interests are mainly in theoretical and mathematical physics (in particular, symmetry and integrability properties of classical field equations, classical electromagnetism), but he is also active in physics education. He is an amateur musician and a columnist for Greek newspapers and magazines.
