Geometric Algebra and Applications to Physics
Autor Venzo de Sabbata, Bidyut Kumar Dattaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2019
This reference begins with several chapters that present the mathematical fundamentals of geometric algebra. It introduces the essential features of postulates and their underlying framework; bivectors, multivectors, and their operators; spinor and Lorentz rotations; and Clifford algebra. The book also extends some of these topics into three dimensions. Subsequent chapters apply these fundamentals to various common physical scenarios. The authors show how Maxwell's equations can be expressed and manipulated via space-time algebra and how geometric algebra reveals electromagnetic waves' states of polarization. In addition, they connect geometric algebra and quantum theory, discussing the Dirac equation, wave functions, and fiber bundles. The final chapter focuses on the application of geometric algebra to problems of the quantization of gravity.
By covering the powerful methodology of applying geometric algebra to all branches of physics, this book provides a pioneering text for undergraduate and graduate students as well as a useful reference for researchers in the field.

Descriere
Bringing geometric algebra to the mainstream of physics pedagogy, this book presents geometric algebra as a discipline within mathematical physics and shows how geometric algebra can be applied to numerous fundamental problems in physics, especially in experimental situations. It introduces the essential features of postulates and their underlying framework; bivectors, multivectors, and their operators; spinor and Lorentz rotations; and Clifford algebra, extending some of these topics into three dimensions. Well-known for their research in general relativity, the authors cover Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves' states of polarization, the Dirac equation, wave functions, fiber bundles, and the quantization of gravity.
