Book Description

The conformal group is the invariance group of geometry (which is not understood), the largest one. Physical applications are implied, as discussed, including reasons for interactions. The group structure as well as those of related groups are analyzed. An inhomogeneous group is a subgroup of a homogeneous one because of nonlinearities of the realization. Conservation of baryons (protons can't decay) is explained and proven. Reasons for various realizations, so matrix elements, of the Lorentz group given. The clearly relevant mass level formula is compared with experimental values. Questions, implications and possibilities, including for differential equations, are raised.

Awkward..........2007-06-15

First published in 2001 and now republished, this book is completely different from what you would expect from a "normal" textbook on mathematical physics. It has more text than formulae and the text is more or less a soup of self-citations and filled with personal scientific innuendo. The author, for instance, does not believe in the vacuum being "filled" with virtual particles, notwithstanding the experimental evidence for it, such as the Casimir effect. He calles people who do "believe" it (as if it were religion) "fools". He does not provide alternatives, but merely states his disapproval.

The text does NOT cover quantum field theory (just some (nearly trivial) basics on the Fock space at the end of the book, which can be found in any more advanced text on quantum mechanics), the conformal group is discussed neatly but not completely satisfactorily, and conformal field theory is treated very poorly (if at all!). Ronald Mirman hammers on "physics respecting its geometry", but does not provide much mathematical background for it.

Furthermore, the author is an independent researcher, which is underlined by the fact, that he does not know what belongs to a modern education in physics and what does not. He, for example, writes that the value of group theory is underappriciated in theoretical physics, which is absolutely nonsense: mathematical physics, especially particle physics, is soaked to the bone with the representation theory of Lie algebras (and in fact would not exist fully without it, to be frank).

The first chapter contains the relevance of the conformal group, in which the author does not state its application in statistical physics and string theory (which - in an online article - he thinks is useless and wrong). In this book, he talks about scale invariance of complete systems (and the role of dilations) and the relation between accelerated observers and special conformal transformations, which is interesting but not backed up mathematically much. In the second chapter, the Möbius group is treated on a basic level - the transformation of special curves (intersections of planes and conical surfaces) under the PSL(2,C) group. A bit on the Clifford algebra is given as well, but not much (and it is completely useless in the text apart from mentioning that there are fermions and bosons obeying different algebras). The conformal group, its subgroups and "similar" groups (compact and noncompact versions of so(n,m) and their covers su(n,m)) are given, but this is hardly a plus, since it is either so easy that any undergraduate could do the calculations or it is not relevant. The final chapter is about conformal field theory, but not in the usual sense (see books by e.g. Di Francesco e.a., Ketov, Kaku, Hankel, etc. for that). Mirman tries to explain what fields are and why they are useful, and what conformal transformations might be used for, but does not do much with it. Then, there are two appendices, which are not interesting either (representations of the Lorentz group & what masses of particles "tell" us - sounds more like a crystal ball to me than science!).

Besides, he says that (a large part of) mathematical literature "tries to hide [its] worthlessness under a pile of esoteric, but meaningless, language", which is more a self-description than a specification of mathematics.

The printing inside the book is okay, except that occasionally he inserts a Maple code into the text, which does not help anything and destroys the typesetting. The cover looks much better on the picture of amazon. In reality, it is a scan of the original 2001 cover, which has then been streched for the new one (at least it looks like that has been done) and one can see individual pixels.

The price is okay, although for 15$ you can get much better pieces on mathematics and physics from Dover Publications! Or invest a bit more for QFT by Itzykson & Zuber (Dover) and a CFT book by one of the authors given above.

Book Description

This volume reviews recent developments in conformal quantum field theory in D-dimensions, and focuses on two main aims. Firstly, the promising trend is followed toward constructing an exact solution for a certain class of models. Work on the conformal Ward identities in a D-dimensional space in the late '70s suggests a parallel with the null-vectors which determine the minimal models in the two-dimensional field theory. Recent research has also indicated the possible existence of an infinite parameter algebra analogous to the Virasoro algebra in spaces of higher dimensions D>=3. Each of these models contains parameters similar to the central charge of the two-dimensional theory, due to special fields which occur in the commutator of the components of the energy-momentum tensor. As a first step, a special formalism is suggested which allows finding an exact solution of these models for any space dimension. Then it is shown that in each model closed differential equations can be obtained for higher correlators, as well as the algebraic equations for scale dimensions of fields, and dimensionless parameters similar to the central charge. Secondly, this work aims to give a survey of some special aspects of conformal quantum field theory in D-dimensional space. Included are the survey of conformal methods of approximate calculation of critical indices in a three-dimensional space, an analysis and solution of a renormalised system of Schwinger-Dyson equations, a derivation of partial wave expansions, among other topics. Special attention is given to the development of the apparatus of quantum conform theory of gauge fields. Audience: This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers whose work involves quantum field theory.

Book Description

Recent interactions between the fields of geometry, classical and quantum dynamical systems, and visualization of geometric objects such as curves and surfaces have led to the observation that most concepts of surface theory and of the theory of integrable systems have natural discrete analogues. These are characterized by the property that the corresponding difference equations are integrable, and has led in turn to some important applications in areas of condensed matter physics and quantum field theory, amongst others. The book combines the efforts of a distinguished team of authors from various fields in mathematics and physics in an effort to provide an overview of the subject. The mathematical concepts of discrete geometry and discrete integrable systems are firstly presented as fundamental and valuable theories in themselves. In the following part these concepts are put into the context of classical and quantum dynamics.

Book Description

It is hard to overstate the importance of this trilogy of prose romances in the development of the legend of the Holy Grail and in the evolution of Arthurian literature as a whole. They give a crucial new impetus to the story of the Grail by establishing a provenance for the sacred vessel - and for the Round Table itself - in the Biblical past; and through the controlling figure of Merlin they link the story of Joseph of Arimathea with the mythical British history of Vortigern and Utherpendragon, the birth of Arthur, and the sword in the stone, and then with the knightly adventures of Perceval's Grail quest and the betrayal and death of Arthur, creating the very first Arthurian cycle. Ambitious, original and complete in its conception, this trilogy - translated here for the first time - is a finely paced, vigorous piece of storytelling that provides an outstanding example of the essentially oral nature of early prose.NIGEL BRYANT is head of drama at Marlborough College. He has also provided editions in English of the anonymous thirteenth-century romance Perlesvaus, published as The High Book of the Grail, and Chretien's Perceval: The Story of the Grail.

Ian Myles Slater on An Invaluable Service.......2003-10-01

A cycle of three -- or, by some counts, four -- Arthurian romances attributed to the poet Robert de Boron (or Borron) is of exceptional importance. It seems to have provided the model for the later Vulgate Cycle, which includes "Lancelot" and "The Quest of the Holy Grail," and its successors, including Thomas Malory''s "Le Morte D'Arthur." Obviously, everyone seriously interested in Arthurian literature will have read it. Wrong. Very wrong.

To begin with, there is, unfortunately, direct manuscript evidence for only "Joseph of Arimathea" (the early history of the Grail) and the opening of "Merlin" in verse. What we have for the whole cycle, concluding with "Perceval" (the Grail Quest), and "The Death of Arthur" (as either the conclusion of "Perceval" or a short continuation of the cycle), is a prose redaction. The relationship of this to the work of the original poet in its later portions is uncertain -- assuming that there was a complete version in verse.

The prose retelling exists in a variety of manuscripts, only two of which (known as Modena and Didot, the latter famous but textually corrupt) contain the whole collection, and they otherwise differ among themselves. There have been a number of editions of the medieval French texts, based on different manuscripts and editorial principles, so even those with a good reading knowledge of Old French have not necessarily read the same book.

For those of us who read only English (at least with any fluency), there has been only the last section, as "The Romance of Perceval in Prose: A Translation of the E Manuscript of the Didot Perceval" by Dell Skeels, published by University of Washington Press in 1961. It was once available in paperback (1966 printing), but is long out of print. Fortunately Skeels resisted the turn-of-the-century models of Sebastian Evans and W.W. Comfort, and turned out workman-like modern English instead of pseudo-Malory. Unfortunately, he provided only half the story (the Quest and the Death of Arthur), and the information provided about the material was limited.

Now Nigel Bryant has come riding to the rescue of beleaguered amateur Arthurians and besieged students (sorry, I can't resist the image) with another of his modern language translations. (He has also made available in English the "Perceval" of Chretien de Troyes, and a selection of its numerous continuations, and also the rather odd "Perlesvaus," as "The High Book of the Grail"). Originally published in hardcover as Volume XLVIII of an ongoing Arthurian Studies series, "Merlin and the Grail" is readable, critically astute, and bibliographically up to date (although I have yet to find Skeels in the bibliography or notes.) It is exactly what I longed for a quarter-century ago when trying to make sense of passages in William Roach's 1941 edition of "The Didot Perceval, According to the Manuscripts of Modena and Paris." We have at last a really early version of the origin and wanderings of the Grail, the conceptions and births of Merlin and Arthur, and the King's early reign, and the insertion of the Grail Quest into the traditonal "history" of Arthur's reign.
