Operational Symmetries: Basic Operations in Physics
Autor Heinrich Salleren Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 iul 2017
This book describes the endeavour to relate the particle spectrum with representations of operational electroweak spacetime, in analogy to the atomic spectrum as characterizing representations of hyperbolic space. The spectrum of hyperbolic position space explains the properties of the nonrelativistic atoms; the spectrum of electroweak spacetime is hoped to explain those of the basic interactions and elementary particles.
The standard model of elementary particles and interactions is characterized by a symmetry group. In general, as initiated by Weyl and stressed by Heisenberg, quantum theory can be built as a theory of operation groups and their unitary representations. In such a framework, time, position and spacetime is modeled by equivalence classes of symmetry groups. For a unification on this road, the quest is not for a final theory with a basic equation for basic particles, but for the basic operation group and its representations.

Recenzii
“This book is devoted to the symmetry that is one of the basic questions in Physics. … The author uses a comprehensible language to explain very complex phenomena connected with the symmetry. … There exist a lot of examples illustrating the theories. All above mentioned topics are written readably, and at the same time follow the academic frames with some simple proofs and corollaries.” (Dimitar A. Kolev, zbMATH 1381.81007, 2018)

He has worked at Cornell University and at the Ludwigs Maximilan University Munich (LMU). Heinrich Saller's main affiliation is the Max Planck Institute of Physics in Munich. He is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Theoretical Physics.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book describes the endeavour to relate the particle spectrum with representations of operational electroweak spacetime, in analogy to the atomic spectrum as characterizing representations of hyperbolic space. The spectrum of hyperbolic position space explains the properties of the nonrelativistic atoms; the spectrum of electroweak spacetime is hoped to explain those of the basic interactions and elementary particles.
In this book, the theory of operational symmetries is developed from the numbers, from Plato’s and Kepler’s symmetries over the simple Lie groups to their applications in nonrelativistic, special relativistic and general relativistic quantum theories with the atomic spectrum for hyperbolic position and, in first attempts, the particle spectrum for electroweak spacetime.
The standard model of elementary particles and interactions is characterized by a symmetry group. In general, as initiatedby Weyl and stressed by Heisenberg, quantum theory can be built as a theory of operation groups and their unitary representations. In such a framework, time, position and spacetime is modeled by equivalence classes of symmetry groups. For a unification on this road, the quest is not for a final theory with a basic equation for basic particles, but for the basic operation group and its representations.
