    ENERGY AND GEOMETRY
    An Introduction to Deformed Special Relativity

    by Fabio Cardone (National Research Council, CNR, Roma, Italy) & Roberto Mignani (Università di Roma “Roma Tre”, Italy)

    This book discusses in detail the mathematical aspects and physical applications of a new geometrical structure of space-time. It is based on a generalization (”deformation”) of the usual Minkowski space, supposedly endowed with a metric whose coefficients depend on the energy.

    Energy and Geometry: Geometrical Description of Interactions is suitable for researchers, academics and students in mathematical and theoretical physics.

    This book has been selected for coverage in:
