商品描述

This book explains and develops the Dirac equation in the context of general relativistic quantum mechanics in a range of spacetime dimensions. It clarifies the subject by carefully pointing out the various conventions used and explaining how they are related to each other. The prerequisites are familiarity with general relativity and an exposure to the Dirac equation at the level of special relativistic quantum mechanics, but a review of this latter topic is given in the first chapter as a reference and framework for the physical interpretations that follow. Worked examples and exercises with solutions are provided. Appendices include reviews of topics used in the body of the text. This book should benefit researchers and graduate students in general relativity and in condensed matter.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書在一般相對論量子力學的背景下,解釋並發展了狄拉克方程,涵蓋了多種時空維度。它通過仔細指出所使用的各種慣例並解釋它們之間的關係,來澄清這一主題。前提條件是對一般相對論的熟悉以及對狄拉克方程在特殊相對論量子力學層面的接觸,但第一章提供了對後者主題的回顧,作為後續物理解釋的參考和框架。書中提供了帶解答的範例和練習題。附錄包括對文本中使用的主題的回顧。本書應能惠及一般相對論和凝聚態物理的研究人員及研究生。
