My field is theoretical particle physics (see my curriculum vitae). For an introduction of the subject, see my co-authored books:

  • "Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics"   (Oxford University Press, 1984;  paperback  1988;  Russian  translation  1989)
  • "Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics: Problems and Solutions" (Oxford, 2000)

In 2004 I completed a GR book: “Relativity Gravitation & Cosmology: a Basic Introduction” (Oxford Masters Series in Physics). This is an introduction to Einstein’s general theory of relativity for readers with an undergraduate math background, and includes discussion of recent development in cosmology, issues like dark matter, dark energy, and the accelerating universe, etc. 

For those interested in viewing my talk: "Dark Energy in the Accelerating Universe", one can choose the PowerPoint format or the pdf black/white slides.
