IV - Field theories
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2009
Summary
This part is concerned with variational principles underlying field theories. Chapter 10 develops the nonquantized theory of interacting relativistic fields, emphasizing Lorentz and gauge invariant Lagrangian formalism. The theory of a classical nonabelian gauge field is carried to the point of proving gauge invariance and of deriving the local conservation law for field energy and momentum densities.
