Gauge Theories, Knots, and Gravity by John C. Baez, Javier P. Muniain is a science book available to read on EtoBox.
What is Gauge Theories, Knots, and Gravity about?
This is an introduction to the basic tools of mathematics needed to understand the relation between knot theory and quantum gravity. The book begins with a rapid course on manifolds and differential forms, emphasizing how these provide a proper language for formulating Maxwell's equations on arbitrary spacetimes. The authors then introduce vector bundles, connections and curvature in order to generalize Maxwell theory to the Yang-Mills equations. The relation of gauge theory to the newly discove
