Geometry of Minkowski Space -- Relativistic Mechanics -- Electromagnetic Field -- Solutions to Maxwell's Equations -- Lagrangian Formalism in Electrodynamics -- Self-Interaction in Electrodynamics -- Lagrangian Formalism for Gauge Theories -- Solutions to the Yang?Mills Equations -- Self-Interaction in Gauge Theories -- Generalizations -- Mathematical Appendices.
This volume is intended as a systematic introduction to gauge field theory for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in high energy physics. The discussion is restricted to the classical (non-quantum) theory in Minkowski spacetime. Particular attention has been given to conceptual aspects of field theory, accurate definitions of basic physical notions, and thorough analysis of exact solutions to the equations of motion for interacting systems. Two theories covered by the book in great detail are the Maxwell-Lorentz electrodynamics and Yang-Mills-Wong theory.
