Lewis Howarth Ryder (15 November 1941 - 18 December 2018) was a British theoretical physicist.[1]
Career and work
Ryder earned a master's degree at Oxford and a PhD in mathematical physics at Edinburgh under Peter Higgs. He then joined the University of Kent, where he spent most of his career.[1][2]
His research interests included geometric aspects of particle physics, general relativity, torsion and curvature in spacetime, the geometric phase, and condensed matter applications.[1]
His textbook Quantum Field Theory is the reason for his appearance in the QFT further-reading list.[3][1]
Selected works
- Quantum Field Theory.
- Introduction to General Relativity.
- Elementary Particles and Symmetries.
