| Description: |
These essays are based on lectures on the foundation of quantum theory, symmetries and representation theory, and the quantum theory of the superworld. The author examines the quantum world and superworld under the lens of symmetry and supersymmetry. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a collection of essays based on lectures that author has given on various occasions on foundation of quantum theory, symmetries and representation theory, and the quantum theory of the superworld created by physicists.The lectures are linked by a unifying theme: how the quantum world and superworld appear under the lens of symmetry and supersymmetry.In the world of ultra-small times and distances such as the Planck length and Planck time, physicists believe no measurements are possible and so the structure of spacetime itself is an unknown that has to be first understood. There have been suggestions (Volovich hypothesis) that world geometry at such energy regimes is non-archimedian and some of the lectures explore the consequences of such a hypothesis.Ultimately, symmetries and supersymmetries are described by the representation of groups and supergroups. The author's interest in representation is a lifelong one and evolved slowly, and owes a great deal to conversations and discussions he had with George Mackey and Harish-Chandra. The book concludes with a retrospective look at these conversations. |
