Welcome to my physics home page
My
research interests are in group theoretical methods
applied to problems in relativity and quantum mechanics
I hope that you are enjoying your summer vacation. Part of mine will be attending Group28 in Newcastle. Here is a preview of the talk. (View in full screen mode so that the buildouts work.) I hope to see you there.
This website has been recently revamped. Please let me know any comments or problems you encounter.
Noninertial Symmetry of Hamilton's Mechanics
The little paper that follows shows that we have missed a very basic symmetry of Hamilton's equations. Hamilton's equations are very old, and so this seems rather unlikely; check out the theorem.
Relativity implications of the quantum phase
Comments on draft book
The lecture notes for the PHY396T: Applications of Lie groups in relativistic and quantum physics graduate course that I taught in the fall semester of 2010 at the University of Texas at Austin are being turned into a book.
