Symmetries in Fundamental Physics

More about the book

Symmetries play a crucial role in the foundations of modern physics, influencing both elementary particle physics and relativity theories. The work of Emmy Noether, which highlighted the significance of symmetries in the laws of nature, is explored alongside the implications of quantum physics and Poincare invariance. The monograph delves into how these concepts shape our understanding of particle properties and wave equations, while also addressing internal symmetries in particle physics. It spans classical mechanics to contemporary research on unified theories and quantum gravity, showcasing the ongoing relevance of symmetry in fundamental physics.
