Description

Gauge Theory and Variational Principles by David Bleecker provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the fundamental forces of nature and the interactions of subatomic particles. The book offers a detailed and self-contained mathematical account of gauge theory, geared towards graduate students and advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics. The text explores key concepts such as principal fiber bundles, connections, curvature, and particle fields, before delving into more advanced topics like Lagrange's equation, gauge invariance, and the inhomogeneous field equation. Additional subjects include free Dirac electron fields, interactions, and the unification of gauge fields and gravitation. Suitable for those seeking a rigorous and intuitive understanding of gauge theory, this book concludes with a comprehensive reference section, bibliography, and notation index.
