Classical Covariant Fields (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) Book

Classical field theory is an important subject both in itself and as a route to quantum field theory. This book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. Care is taken to explain how results arise and how to interpret results physically. Many physical examples are provided, making the book an ideal supplementary text for graduate courses on elementary field theory, group theory and dynamical systems. It will also be a valuable reference for researchers already working in these and related areas.Read More

  • Product Description

    This book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. It explores the limits of what can be achieved with purely classical notions, and shows how these classical notions have a deep and important connection with the second quantized field theory, which follows on from the Schwinger Action Principle. Its pragmatic view of field theory focuses on issues which are usually omitted from quantum field theory texts and catalogs results which are often hard to find in the literature.
