This 2-volume research monograph presents a new kind of modern differential geometry approach to such physical theories as gauge theory. Sheaf theory (geometry) and sheaf cohomology (analysis) are used to explain all the machinary of classical differential geometry without any notion of smoothness. Together they present Maxwell fields, Yang-Mills and general relativity. The text contains a treasure trove of minutely detailed and rigorous computations. This original work will appeal to physicists, mathematicians, graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying applications of differential geometry tor physical theories.

Original, well-written work of interest Presents for the first time (physical) field theories written in sheaf-theoretic language Contains a wealth of minutely detailed, rigorous computations, ususally absent from standard physical treatments Author's mastery of the subject and the rigorous treatment of this text make it invaluable Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
