La theorie quantique des champs, la physique des particules, l'astrophysique des hautes energies, etc. sont autant de domaines de la physique moderne qui s'appuient sur la relativite restreinte. Celle-ci est ici presentee en adoptant directement un point de vue quadridimensionnel, c'est-a-dire en passant par l'espace-temps de Minkowski. Ce livre scientifique a ceci de particulier qu'il ne se limite pas aux referentiels inertiels et considere des observateurs acceleres ou en rotation. Cela permet de discuter simplement et de maniere rigoureuse d'effets physiques tels que la precession de...

Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn't restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat physical effects such as the Thomas precession or the Sagnac effect in a simple yet precise manner. In the final chapters, more advanced topics like tensorial fields in spacetime, exterior calculus...

This well-illustrated book presents many applications of special relativity, from particle physics to astrophysics, to Sagnac gyrometers and GPS, as well as mathematical developments such as the detailed analysis of the Lorentz group and its Lie algebra.
