A Physicist's Introduction to Algebraic Structures by Palash B Pal
An algebraic structure consists of a set of elements, with some rule of combining them, or some special property of selected subsets of the entire set. Many algebraic structures, such as vector space and group, come to everyday use of a modern physicist. Catering to the needs of graduate students and researchers in the field of mathematical physics and theoretical physics, this comprehensive and valuable text discusses the essential concepts of algebraic structures such as metric space, group, modular numbers, algebraic integers, field, vector space, Boolean algebra, measure space and Lebesgue integral. Important topics including finite and infinite dimensional vector spaces, finite groups and their representations, unitary groups and their representations and representations of the Lorentz group, homotopy and homology of topological spaces are covered extensively. Rich pedagogy includes various problems interspersed throughout the book for better understanding of concepts.
Palash B. Pal is Senior Professor in the Theory Division at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata. His current research includes elementary particle physics, with specializations in neutrinos, grand unified theories, and particles in electromagnetic fields. He has published more than 100 papers in journals of international repute. He has taught courses on mathematical methods, particle physics, quantum field theory, theoretical physics and classical field theory at graduate level. He carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts, University of Oregon and University of Texas.
