Lie Groups, Lie Algebras, Cohomology and Some Applications in Physics

by Jose A. De Azcárraga, J.A. de Azcárraga, J. M. Izquierdo

Book Overview

Now in paperback, this book provides a self-contained introduction to the cohomology theory of Lie groups and algebras and to some of its applications in physics. No previous knowledge of the mathematical theory is assumed beyond some notions of Cartan calculus and differential geometry (which are nevertheless reviewed in the book in detail). The examples, of current interest, are intended to clarify certain mathematical aspects and to show their...
