How Is Clifford Algebra Applied in Particle Physics and Field Theory?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for resources on Clifford algebra, particularly in the context of particle physics and field theory. A recommended book is "Geometric Algebra for Physicists" by Doran and Lasenby, which is highlighted as a key reference. Additionally, a set of notes based on this book is available on GitHub, providing further insights into geometric algebra and its applications in physics.

Hello,

My courses in particle physics and filed theory use several notations in clifford algebra which I have never met before. Could anyone provides me some useful books for clifford algebra in physics?

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
