Summary

This is a book on topology and geometry and, like any books on subjects as vast as these, it has a point-of-view that guided the selection of topics. The book weaves together rudimentary notions from the classical gauge theory of physics with the topological and geometrical concepts that became the mathematical models of these notions.

Topology, Geometry and Gauge fields by Gregory L Naber

Through detailed calculations of a number of concrete examples, this book displays an introduction to topology and geometry that reflects the recent impact of gauge theory. This text should be accessible to first year graduate students of mathematics and physics.

First Edition Review:

"Naber’s book, together with its predecessor[N4] subtitled Foundations, occupies a less populated niche in the marketThis is the sector of teachable texts on differential geometry and its use in physics. Teachability does not refer to a definition-theorem-proof format. Nor does it imply anything about the depth of the treatment. Rather, it has to do with the organization of the topics, the selection of examples, the amount of instructive details provided, the ability to anticipate questions from the reader, and knowing when to stop."
