Classical Fields: General Gravity and Gauge Theory

Carmeli M.

This textbook for a one-year graduate course in theoretical physics explores the classical theory of fields with a mix of electrodynamics, gauge fields, and gravitation. Carmell (Ben Gurion) develops the geometry of curved spacetime, the Einstein field equations, gravitational fields of elementary mass systems, the equations of motion in general relativity, spinor formulation of gravitation and gauge fields, and the gauge theory of gravitation.
