Lie Algebra as a Unifying Concept in Modern Physics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Lie algebras, in the form of algebras of observables, play an essential role in the formulation of classical and quantum mechanics. We discuss whether lie groups play a similar role in general relativity through the holonomy group. We also explore what interrelations these ideas provide between classical physics, relativity and quantum physics.
