商品簡介
Cardone (National Research Council, CNR, Italy) discusses in detail the mathematical aspects and physical applications of a new geometrical structure of space-time based on a generalization ("deformation") of the usual Minkowski space. He explains the physical and mathematical foundations of deformed special relativity (DSR), presents a metric description of fundamental interactions, and considers the connection of DSR with the problem of the breakdown of local Lorentz invariance. The link between DSR and a generalized five- dimension Kaluza-Klein scheme is also outlined. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
