PF not mentioned in the refrences of MSc thesis

[samalkhaiat]

The author of the following MSc thesis (see pages 8-11)

http://workspace.imperial.ac.uk/theoreticalphysics/Public/MSc/Dissertations/2010/Maria%20Dimou%20Dissertation.pdf

used the following PF-thread:

www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=172461

Don’t you think the author should mention the above PF-thread in her references?

Are there some quotes from the thread that appear in the thesis? If so can you give examples?

[samalkhaiat]

Almost all of the material in the pages 8-11 are taken from the first few posts in the above mentioned thread.

As far as I can see, those equations are standard commutation relations between the generators of the conformal group. I don't think your thread is the only thread that has the equations written down.

However, that MS Thesis has terrible referencing. It justs lists many references at the end of the document, without a particular link in the text to any of them.

EDIT: Well, at least ref.[1] is nowhere mentioned in the text.
