  • Quantum Physics, Mini Black Holes, and the Multiverse

    Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics

    by Yasunori Nomura, John Terning, Bill Poirier ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    "Modern physics is rife with provocative and fascinating ideas, from quantum mechanics to the multiverse. But as interesting as these concepts are, they are also easy to understand. This book, written with deft hands by true experts in the field, helps to illuminate some of the most important and game-changing ideas in physics today."Sean M. Carroll"The Multiversal book series is equally unique, ... 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

  • A Universe from Nothing

    Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing

    by Lawrence M. Krauss, Richard Dawkins ...
    Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place.“Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?”One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture ... Read more

  • Theoretical and Experimental Approaches to Dark Energy and the Cosmological Constant Problem

    by Ahmad Borzou ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis represents a unique mix of theoretical work discussing the Lorentz theory of gravity and experimental work searching for supersymmetry with the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. It begins by reviewing a set of widely-discussed theoretical solutions to the cosmological constant problem, including a natural solution provided by the recently developed Lorentz ... Read more

  • Tensorial Methods and Renormalization in Group Field Theories

    by Sylvain Carrozza ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The main focus of this thesis is the mathematical structure of Group Field Theories (GFTs) from the point of view of renormalization theory. Such quantum field theories are found in approaches to quantum gravity related, on the one hand, to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and on the other, to matrix- and tensor models. Background material on these topics, including conceptual and technical aspects, are ... Read more

  • Relativistic Dissipative Hydrodynamic Description of the Quark-Gluon Plasma

    by Akihiko Monnai ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents theoretical and numerical studies on phenomenological description of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), a many-body system of elementary particles.The author formulates a causal theory of hydrodynamics for systems with net charges from the law of increasing entropy and a momentum expansion method. The derived equation results can be applied not only to collider physics, but also to ... Read more

  • Search for New Phenomena in Dijet Angular Distributions at √s = 8 and 13 TeV

    by Lene Kristian Bryngemark ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis describes the use of the angular distributions of the most energetic dijets in data recorded by the ATLAS experiment, at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the goal of which is to search for phenomena beyond what the current theory of Particle Physics (the Standard Model) can describe. It also describes the deployment of the method used in ATLAS to correct for the distortions in jet ... Read more

  • A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers

    by Robert E Kennedy ...
    Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics. The dominant figure in this revolutionary change was Albert Einstein. In a single year, 1905, Einstein produced breakthrough works in three areas of physics: on the size and ... Read more
