Gauge Theory and Variational Principles - (Dover Books on Physics) by David Bleecker (Paperback)

This comprehensive guide provides a detailed and self-contained mathematical account of gauge theory, tailored towards beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics.

With an emphasis on intuitive ideas, the text covers a wide range of topics including principal fiber bundles and connections, curvature, particle fields, Lagrangians, and gauge invariance.

The book also explores free Dirac electron fields; interactions; calculus on frame bundle; and unification of gauge fields and gravitation.

Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of the fundamental forces of nature or seeking a comprehensive resource for your studies, this text is an essential addition to any library.
