Treiman: Current Algebra And Anomalies (cloth) (Princeton Series in Physics) - Hardcover
Book 7 of 32: Princeton Series in Physics
Synopsis
Current algebra remains our most successful analysis of fundamental particle interactions. This collection of surveys on current algebra and anomalies is a successor volume toLectures on Current Algebra and Its Applications (Princeton Series in Physics, 1972).
Originally published in 1986.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
