This book describes the endeavour to relate the particle spectrum with representations of operational electroweak spacetime, in analogy to the atomic spectrum as characterizing representations of hyperbolic space. The spectrum of hyperbolic position space explains the properties of the nonrelativistic atoms; the spectrum of electroweak spacetime is hoped to explain those of the basic interactions and elementary particles.
The standard model of elementary particles and interactions is characterized by a symmetry group. In general, as initiated by Weyl and stressed by Heisenberg, quantum theory can be built as a theory of operation groups and their unitary representations. In such a framework, time, position and spacetime is modeled by equivalence classes of symmetry groups. For a unification on this road, the quest is not for a final theory with a basic equation for basic particles, but for the basic operation group and its representations.

Prof. Dr. Heinrich Saller worked for over 40 years in mathematical physics with a special focus on field theory. His research interests include centrum correlations of the nonabelian internal symmetries isospin and colour with the abelian hypercharge; particle projection of relativistic fields and last but not least timespace as homogenous causal manifolds and their representations. He has worked at Cornell University and at the Ludwigs Maximilan University Munich (LMU). Heinrich Saller's main affiliation is the Max Planck Institute of Physics in Munich. He is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Theoretical Physics.
