Description

Special Relativity in General Frames From Particles to Astrophysics by Eric Gourgoulhon is a comprehensive presentation of this fundamental theory. Adopting a four-dimensional point of view, the book explores special relativity's application to various fields, including particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, and more. The author delves into physical effects such as Thomas precession and Sagnac effect in an accessible manner, while also addressing advanced topics like tensorial fields in spacetime, exterior calculus, and relativistic hydrodynamics. The book is enriched with historical notes and applications of special relativity across different disciplines, including particle physics, astrophysics, and practical applications. Suitable for students and researchers alike, this book provides a modern presentation of special relativity's essential structures, making it an ideal resource for understanding the theory's underlying principles and its relevance to various fields.
