Jonathan Bain

CPT Invariance and the Spin-Statistics Connection

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a book on the philosophy of quantum field theory dealing with the question What explains CPT invariance and the spin-statistics connection? These properties play foundational roles in relativistic quantum field theories and figure into explanations of a wide range of phenomena, from antimatter, to the periodic table, to superfluids.
