Description for Reflections on Quanta, Symmetries, and Supersymmetries
hardcover. These essays are based on lectures on the foundation of quantum theory, symmetries and representation theory, and the quantum theory of the superworld. The author examines the quantum world and superworld under the lens of symmetry and supersymmetry. Num Pages: 236 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 161 x 19. Weight in Grams: 506.
This is a collection of essays based on lectures that author has given on various occasions on foundation of quantum theory, symmetries and representation theory, and the quantum theory of the superworld created by physicists. The lectures are linked by a unifying theme: how the quantum world and superworld appear under the lens of symmetry and supersymmetry. In the world of ultra-small times and distances such as the Planck length and Planck time, physicists believe no measurements are possible and so the structure of spacetime itself is an unknown that has to be first understood. There have been suggestions (Volovich ... Read more

About Veeraualli Seshadri Varadarajan
The author writes: "Most of my thoughts on quantum theory are in these essays. The last section is on represenation theory. I do not like to call it an epilogue bucause it deals with a large part of what I have done in this area over the years...I have been thinking about a collection like this for many years that ...

Reviews for Reflections on Quanta, Symmetries, and Supersymmetries
From the reviews: “This volume is a marvelous collection of essays that marries the technical with the personal. The technical part is an exploration of symmetries that arise in considerations of quantum theory. The personal part consists of reminiscences by the author about his colleagues … . Each essay provides a list of readings for those who wish to ... Read more
