Edinburgh Lectures on Geometry, Analysis and Physics
by

Publisher: arXiv
Number of pages: 41

Description:
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may stimulate readers to investigate them.

Book cover: The Geometrization of PhysicsThe Geometrization of Physics
by - University of California at Irvine
The major goal of these notes is to develop an observation that not only can gauge fields of the Yang-Mills type be unified with the Einstein model of gravitation, but also that when this unification is made they are described by pure geometry.
