Deformed Spacetime (eBook, PDF)

Geometrizing Interactions in Four and Five Dimensions

Beschreibung

This volume provides a detailed discussion of the mathematical aspects and physical applications of a new geometrical structure of space-time, based on a generalization ("deformation") of the usual Minkowski space, as supposed to be endowed with a metric whose coefficients depend on the energy. This new five-dimensional scheme (Deformed Relativity in Five Dimensions, DR5) represents a true generalization of the usual Kaluza-Klein (KK) formalism.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book deals with geometrizations of physical fields. The main emphasis is on theories with 4 and those with 5 space-time dimensions. Several types of deformations are considered ... . Almost 90 pages are given to the appendices which contain a lot of formulas in several subcases for the material used in the book. Reference list and subject index close this monograph valuable for specialists interested in this type of alternatives to General Relativity Theory."
