Description for Topology for Physicists
Hardback. Deals with the exposition of topology for physicists. This book is also useful to mathematicians who would like to apply topology in their work, without specialising in this discipline. Translator(s): Levy, S. Series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften. Num Pages: 307 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP; PBW; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 1370.
In recent years topology has firmly established itself as an important part of the physicist's mathematical arsenal. Topology has profound relevance to quantum field theory-for example, topological nontrivial solutions of the classical equa tions of motion (solitons and instantons) allow the physicist to leave the frame work of perturbation theory. The significance of topology has increased even further with the development of string theory, which uses very sharp topologi cal methods-both in the study of strings, and in the pursuit of the transition to four-dimensional field theories by means of spontaneous compactification. Im portant applications of topology also occur in ... Read more
