  • Defect Evolution in Cosmology and Condensed Matter

    Quantitative Analysis with the Velocity-Dependent One-Scale Model

    by C.J.A.P. Martins ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book sheds new light on topological defects in widely differing systems, using the Velocity-Dependent One-Scale Model to better understand their evolution. Topological defects – cosmic strings, monopoles, domain walls or others - necessarily form at cosmological (and condensed matter) phase transitions. If they are stable and long-lived they will be fossil relics of higher-energy physics. ... Read more

  • Relativity: The Special and the General Theory

    International Bestseller

    by Albert Einstein ...
    Series series GP Bestsellers
    Albert Einstein is the unquestioned founder of modern physics. His theory of relativity is the most important scientific idea of the modern era. In this book Einstein explains, using the minimum of mathematical terms, the basic ideas and principles of the theory which has shaped the world we live in today. Unsurpassed by any subsequent books on relativity, this remains the most popular and useful ... Read more

  • Reality Unveiled

    The Reality Unveiled Collection, #1

    by Bernardo Sotomayor Valdivia ...
    Series Book 1 - The Reality Unveiled Collection
    This ebook is the first of a collection of monographs on the infrastructure of reality. (Contains approx. 22,000 words).The idea that the universe is not made up of solid matter and that all that we perceive as objects —from atoms to stars— are really waves, has been around for a long time, going back to ancient Greece.As you can see, the existence of matter-waves is not a new concept. Ever since ... Read more

  • Exact Space-Times in Einstein's General Relativity

    by Jerry B. Griffiths, Jiří Podolský ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
    Einstein's theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learnt about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealised examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein's equations with a particular emphasis on what they mean, both geometrically and physically. Concepts such as big bang and big ... Read more

  • Gravity, Strings and Particles

    A Journey Into the Unknown

    by Maurizio Gasperini ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    New fundamental forces of Nature? New forms of "dark'' energy? Signals from epochs preceding the Big Bang? Is our space-time unique? Only a joint study of the three topics examined in this book – gravity, strings and particles – may provide answers to these questions. Such a study may also provide the key to solving one of the most fascinating mysteries of modern science, namely: Besides time and ... Read more

  • Einstein's Physics

    Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity - Derived, Explained, and Appraised

    by Ta-Pei Cheng ...
    Many regard Albert Einstein as the greatest physicist since Newton. What exactly did he do that is so important in physics? We provide an introduction to his physics at a level accessible to an undergraduate physics student. All equations are worked out in detail from the beginning. Einstein's doctoral thesis and his Brownian motion paper were decisive contributions to our understanding of matter ... Read more

  • Introduction to the AdS/CFT Correspondence

    by Horaƫiu Năstase ...
    Providing a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly developing field of AdS/CFT correspondence, this is one of the first texts to provide an accessible introduction to all the necessary concepts needed to engage with the methods, tools and applications of AdS/CFT. Without assuming anything beyond an introductory course in quantum field theory, it begins by guiding the reader through the basic ... Read more

  • Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

    by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...
    Series series Multiversal Journeys
    In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more

  • Astroparticle Physics: Theory and Phenomenology

    by Günter Sigl ...
    Series Book 1 - Atlantis Studies in Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology
    This books aims at giving an overview over theoretical and phenomenological aspects of particle astrophysics and particle cosmology. To be of interest for both students and researchers in neighboring fields of physics, it keeps a balance between well established foundations that will not significantly change in the future and a more in-depth treatment of selected subfields in which significant new ...

  • Basic Relativity

    An Introductory Essay

    by Péter Hraskó ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This Brief presents a new way of introducing relativity theory, in which perplexing relativistic effects such as time dilation and Lorentz contraction are explained prior to the discussion of Lorentz-transformation. The notion of relativistic mass is shown to contradict the spirit of relativity theory and the true significance of the mass-energy relation is contrasted with the popular view of it. ... Read more

  • Advanced Statistical Methods for Astrophysical Probes of Cosmology

    by Marisa Cristina March ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis explores advanced Bayesian statistical methods for extracting key information for cosmological model selection, parameter inference and forecasting from astrophysical observations. Bayesian model selection provides a measure of how good models in a set are relative to each other - but what if the best model is missing and not included in the set? Bayesian Doubt is an approach which ... Read more

  • Quantum Aspects of Black Holes

    Edited by Xavier Calmet ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Beginning with an overview of the theory of black holes by the editor, this book presents a collection of ten chapters by leading physicists dealing with the variety of quantum mechanical and quantum gravitational effects pertinent to black holes. The contributions address topics such as Hawking radiation, the thermodynamics of black holes, the information paradox and firewalls, Monsters, ... Read more
