Reviews

From the reviews: "The aim of this book is to present the theory of Jordan algebraic structures (Jordan triple systems) and their geometric counterpart, the so-called homogeneous balls, from the point of view of applications ot mathematical physics: special relativity, spinors and foundational quantum mechanics...The (senior) author has made important research contributions to all three areas described above, and the exposition of the theory and the applications is very careful. This makes the book suitable both for experts and non-experts interested in the applications." ---Mathematical Reviews a oeThis fine book provides a highly original approach to theoretical physics, its contents reflecting the authora (TM)s and his ollaboratorsa (TM) copious contributions to many branches of mathematics and physics over the past years.a (ZENTRALBLATT MATH)
