书籍介绍

《规范场、纽结和引力》主要内容:The Series on Knots and Everything: is a book series polarized around the theory of knots. Volume 1 in the series is Louis H Kanffman's Knots and Physics.

One purpose of this series is to continue the exploration of many of the themes indicated in Volume 1. These themes reach out beyond knot theory into physics, mathematics, logic, linguistics, philosophy, biology and practical experience. All of these outreaches have relations with knot theory when knot theory is regarded as a pivot or meeting place for apparently separate ideas. Knots act as such a pivotal place.We do not fully understand why this is so. The series represents stages in the exploration of this nexus.

  • "The naive notion that a particle is a point tracing out a path in spacetime, or that a field assign a number or vector to each point of spacetime, proved to be wholly inadequate, for one cannot measure the position and velocity of a particle simutaneously with arbitrary accuracy, nor the value of a "

我也该早点读完这本的……
Part1比梁灿彬老师的书更适合微分几何入门
最近终于把此书读完了。历时近一年。该书前半部分细致而且剔透,以maxwell方程为线索逐步介绍规范场论。内容连贯而且生动,让我感觉更像是坐在了作者面前,聆听其教导。而然峰回路转,从link开始内容出现些许画图不清,表达差错等。而引力部分讲述过快,未能强化与link之间的关联,推荐
对于数学专业要学微分流形的人来说,第一部分看完对流形基本概念就清晰许多了。
i would give it 6 stars
感觉读下来没看到很多物理,真正没接触过的高级物理此书都是囫囵吞枣、点到为止,没太大帮助。不过优点是十分可读,虽然大部分繁琐的计算还是要自己算。
真是有趣又好玩儿
