Modern Differential Geometry in Gauge Theories - Maxwell Fields, Volume I (Paperback, 2006 ed.)

Differential geometry, in the classical sense, is developed through the theory of smooth manifolds. In the early 1990s, the author initiated a new kind of differential geometry in which all the machinary of classical differential geometry can be explained without any notion of smoothness, that enables unexpected potential applicability since anomalies can now be incorporated in the calculations. This was acheived via sheaf theory (geometry) and sheaf cohomology (analysis). Modern Differential Geometry in Gauge Theories is a two volume research monograph, which systematically applies his sheaf-theoretic approach to such physical theories as gauge theory. Beginning in Volume 1, the focus is on Maxwell fields. All the basic concepts of his mathematical approach are formulated and used thereafter to describe elementary particles, electromagnetism, and geometric prequantization. Maxwell fields are examined and classified in the language of sheaf theory and sheaf cohomology.This text contains a wealth of detailed and rigorous computations, and will appeal to mathematicians and physicists along with advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying applications of differential geome
