The discussion revolves around finding a suitable book that introduces relativistic quantum mechanics using one-forms (differential forms), similar to Schutz's "A First Course in General Relativity." Participants are sharing resources and attempting to identify a specific chapter from an online source.
Participants generally agree on the need for a resource that combines relativistic quantum mechanics with one-forms, but the discussion includes uncertainty regarding the specific book and its authorship. There are multiple viewpoints on the formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics in this context.
There are limitations in the discussion regarding the identification of the book and the assumptions underlying the use of one-forms in relativistic quantum mechanics, which remain unresolved.
This discussion may be useful for students and researchers interested in relativistic quantum mechanics, differential forms, and those seeking academic resources in these areas.
Why do you think that relativistic QM can be formulated in terms of one-forms?cristianbahena said:Do you know about a good book that introduces relativistic quantum mechanics with one-forms (diferential forms)

Looks like its from a book but I can't seem to find the author. Perhaps someone here can identify it.
