Relativity, Symmetry, and the Structure of Quantum Theory, Volume 2: Point form relativistic quantum mechanics - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is the second in a series of volumes looking at what particular relativity is applicable to a given dynamical theory. This volume takes the point of view of a particle theory, based on the irreducible representations of the Poincare group, the group that expresses the symmetry of Einstein relativity. There are several ways of formulating such a theory; we develop what is called relativistic point form quantum mechanics, which, unlike quantum field theory, deals with a fixed number of particles in a relativistically invariant way.
