Theory of the Electron
A Theory of Matter from START

author: JAIME KELLER
..................
(short text)

This book is devoted to the construction of a deductive theory of the 
electron, starting from first principles and using a single mathematical 
tool, geometric analysis. Its purpose is to present a comprehensive theory 
of the electron to that step where connection is made with the main 
approaches to the study of the electron in physics, in such a form that, 
once those have been derived anew, the reader can use them for particular 
purposes.

...........................................

The electron has come, in the first century after its discovery, to be a 
fundamental element in the analysis of physical aspects of nature. 
Including aspects of quantum theory, in practice modeled as a theory of the 
electron and with its main examples usually related to the behavior of the 
electron. Of quantum electrodynamics, the starting point for the 
development of the standard model in elementary particle physics. Even in 
general relativity the electron is an acceptable test particle
............................................
The book is therefore directed to two types of audiences. Primarily to 
theoretical physicists not only in the field of electron physics but also 
in the more general field of quantum mechanics, of elementary particle 
physics and of general relativity. Of course theoretical chemists and 
quantum chemists are by force involved in this branch of theoretical 
physics. The secondary audience are mathematicians in the field of 
geometric analysis as they are always observing the applications of the 
field.

The book is written, an in fact was born, for an audience of graduate 
students in the subjects mentioned in the paragraph above. Nevertheless it 
presents a new, comprehensive, fundamental approach to the theory of matter 
and as such it is relevant to scientists working in theoretical physics or 
analyzing theoretical physics. In this sense the book has kept a structure, 
suitable for this audience in mathematical physics, where physical 
reasoning is given more space than usual.
.....................................

(structure of the book)In the introduction the methodology is described. 
In chapter 2 the concept of space-time-action relativity theory is 
presented in a form suitable for this book(the derivation of General 
Relativity from START is the main example) and in Chapter 3 the 
mathematical structures which describe action are analyzed (here the 
derivation of Density Functional Theory and of Quantum Mechanics are the 
main examples). Chapters 4, 5 and 6 deal with the theory of the electron in 
a series of aspects where the geometrical analysis is more relevant (the 
derivation of the Standard Model of Elementary Particles is one of the 
examples in this chapters). Finally in Chapter 7 we present the form of 
geometrical analysis which was used in the book, we felt this was needed 
because of the broad range of topics which were covered and because of the 
range of mathematical structures which are implicitly or explicitly 
included.
