Description for Classical Relativistic Many-body Dynamics
Hardback. Examines in detail the classical theory of relativistic many-body dynamics using a world time for self-consistency, completeness, and possible critical experiment. This work considers the covariant Kepler problem in particular. It is also recommended as a text for an advanced-level graduate physics course in classical mechanics. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 386 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 719.
in this work, we must therefore assume several abstract concepts that hardly need defending at this point in the history of mechanics. Most notably, these include the concept of the point particle and the concept of the inertial observer. The study of the relativistic particle system is undertaken here by means of a particular classical theory, which also exists on the quantum level, and which is especially suited to the many-body system in flat spacetime. In its fundamental postulates, the theory may be consid ered to be primarily the work of E.C.G. Stiickelberg in the 1940's, and of L.P. Horwitz ... Read more

Reviews for Classical Relativistic Many-body Dynamics
`...this book offers a very nice and fairly self-contained introduction to the subject of classical relativistic dynamics, which will certainly be of interest to graduate students in physics, and to all scientists whose research involves aspects of special relativity theory.'
