Mathematical Methods for Physicistsby Danilo Babusci (INFN, Italy), Giuseppe Dattoli (ENEA, Italy), Silvia Licciardi (ENEA, Italy) & Elio Sabia (ENEA, Italy)

The book covers different aspects of mathematical methods for Physics. It is designed for graduate courses but a part of it can also be used by undergraduate students. The leitmotiv of the book is the search for a common mathematical framework for a wide class of apparently disparate physical phenomena. An important role, within this respect, is provided by a nonconventional formulation of special functions and polynomials. The proposed methods simplify the understanding of the relevant technicalities and yield a unifying view to their applications in Physics as well as other branches of science.

Group Theory for Physicists (2nd Edition)by Zhong-Qi Ma (Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing, China)

This textbook explains the fundamental concepts and techniques of group theory in a language familiar to physicists. The second edition includes extensive updates and new materials. Calculation methods in the context of physics are emphasized. The generalized Gel'fand's method is presented to calculate the matrices of irreducible representations of the simple Lie algebra and its Clebsch–Gordan coefficients.

Review of the first edition:“The authors present an interesting book explaining group theory in terms of physics, closing an often observed gap in the literature between abstract mathematical theory and physical applications ... It is self-contained as much as is possible. Many examples and exercises, including solutions, allow the reader to become more familiar with the subject.”

Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Field Theoryby Albert Schwarz (University of California at Davis, USA)

The book is very different from other books devoted to quantum field theory, both in the style of exposition and in the choice of topics. Written for both mathematicians and physicists, the author explains the theoretical formulation with a mixture of rigorous proofs and heuristic arguments, careful to avoid ambiguous definitions and statements that can be found in some physics textbooks.

In terms of topics, almost all other books are devoted to relativistic quantum field theory, conversely this book is concentrated on the material that does not depend on the assumptions of Lorentz-invariance and/or locality. It is not assumed that the reader is familiar with quantum mechanics; the book contains a short introduction to quantum mechanics for mathematicians and an appendix devoted to some mathematical facts used in the book.

Space Time and Dark MatterThe Hidden Sectors of Particle Physics and Cosmologyby Alberto Grasso (Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, Italy)

The nature of dark matter is one of the key enquiries of cosmology and particle physics. Coherently approaching the fundamental questions, this book critically explores the role of the “space time” by fixing the representations of its underlying symmetries and classifying the relevant scattering portals of the principal dark matter candidates. With particular reference to the experimental constraints on annihilation and direct detection cross sections, the author reviews the kinetic and thermodynamic evolution since the decoupling era of what would have become the dark matter relics at the cosmological scale and the dark halos at the galactic scale.

In good synthesis, the ultimate scope of the book is to present the logic interplay between the microscopic and the macroscopic points of view on the “dark matter problem”, by finding their unifying key element in the intimate nature of the “space time”.

Interacting Gravitational, Electromagnetic, Neutrino and Other WavesIn the Context of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativityby Anzhong Wang (Baylor University, USA)

This book investigates interactions among gravitational waves and matter fields beyond linear order. Only a basic understanding of general relativity is required to understand the materials.

The book opens with an overview on the fundamentals of the Newman-Penrose formalism and a brief introduction to distribution theory, with which the author systematically develops a mathematical description of spacetimes of colliding plane waves. Then, the author discusses a variety of nonlinear interactions, including the collisions of two plane gravitational waves and the collisions of a plane gravitational wave with a dust shell, a massless scalar wave, an electromagnetic wave, or a neutrino wave.

A Quantum Leap in Information Theoryby Stefano Mancini (University of Camerino, Italy)& Andreas Winter (Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain)

This is an introductory textbook at graduate or advanced undergraduate level. Students with diverse backgrounds, in mathematics, physics and computer science, can use it to become acquainted with the quantum theory of information. Its scope is deliberately chosen to be not too broad, while being self-consistent and usable for a semester-long course for beginners. The subject is presented using a balanced mix of intuitive arguments and rigorous formalism. The emphasis is not on the physical information but rather in the formal and mathematical features of quantum information theory. Only a basic knowledge of algebra is required to understand the contents of this book. In particular, a background in quantum mechanics is not needed, since quantum theory is used as a mere mathematical framework without entering into physical interpretations. Examples are provided to help the reader in understanding the different concepts, together with exercises at the end of each chapter.

An Eventful Journey to Unification of All the Fundamental Forcesby Robert Delbourgo (University of Tasmania, Australia)

Following Einstein’s footsteps, many theorists have been trying to unify electromagnetic force with gravitational force by incorporating additional minuscule coordinates, culminating in string theory — which has unfortunately not met with experimental support. The author shows that one can successfully unify gravity with electromagnetism by adding a single complex anticommuting coordinate to spacetime, which can be associated with the property of ‘electricity’. It traces the history of attempts of unification before explaining the author’s “where – when – what” scheme.

Readership: All science graduates who have studied one or two years of university level mathematics.

A Supergravity PrimerFrom Geometrical Principles to the Final Lagrangianby Michel Rausch de Traubenberg (CNRS Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien, France) & Mauricio Valenzuela (Universidad San Sebastián, Chile)

This book is devoted to a pedagogical introduction to supergravity from a practical perspective. In the first part of the book, the N=1 supergravity Lagrangian in four spacetime dimensions is derived using a superspace approach following the reference of Wess and Bagger. The authors then move on to address more phenomenological aspects of supergravity such as supersymmetry breaking, no-scale supergravity and super-Higgs mechanism. Finally, the connection between supergravity/particle physics and cosmology are discussed. As a particular feature of the book, the authors provide explicit derivations, making the computations easier to follow for the interested reader.

Space – Time, Yang – Mills Gravity, and Dynamics of Cosmic ExpansionHow Quantum Yang – Mills Gravity in the Super-Macroscopic Limit Leads to an Effective Gμv(t) and New Perspectives on Hubble’s Law, the Cosmic Redshift and Dark Energyby Jong-Ping Hsu (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA) & Leonardo Hsu (Santa Rosa Junior College, USA)

Yang – Mills gravity is an innovative theory that brings gravity back to the arena of gauge symmetry, quantum fields and quantum mechanics. It provides a unique treatment of gravity consistent with experimental results. This book shows how one can combine Yang – Mills gauge symmetry and effective Einstein – Grossmann metric tensors to tackle physical problems at microscopic, macroscopic and super-macroscopic length scales. In particular, the combination of gauge symmetry and an effective metric tensor provides a framework for and leads to an alternative dynamics of cosmic expansion based on quantum Yang – Mills gravity at the super-macroscopic limit.
