  • Analogue Gravity Phenomenology

    Analogue Spacetimes and Horizons, from Theory to Experiment

    Edited by Daniele Faccio, Francesco Belgiorno, Sergio Cacciatori, Vittorio Gorini, Stefano Liberati, Ugo Moschella ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Analogue Gravity Phenomenology is a collection of contributions that cover a vast range of areas in physics, ranging from surface wave propagation in fluids to nonlinear optics. The underlying common aspect of all these topics, and hence the main focus and perspective from which they are explained here, is the attempt to develop analogue models for gravitational systems. The original and main ... 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Light Barrier

    by Robert Stetson ...
    Learn how the theory of relativity works. Read about the reference point and how the relationship between this point and the “object” can change the mass, volume, energy and rate of time. Is the speed of light really the maximum?Quantum Entanglement occurs across the billions of miles of space at 10,000 times the speed of light. If this is true (it is) then how can the universal maximum speed of 1 ... Read more

  • Variational Approach to Gravity Field Theories

    From Newton to Einstein and Beyond

    by Alberto Vecchiato ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts of differential geometry and derive the field and geodesic equations from purely geometrical properties. Demonstration of the physical meaning then requires the ... 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

  • Gravity, a Geometrical Course

    Volume 1: Development of the Theory and Basic Physical Applications

    by Pietro Giuseppe Frè ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    ‘Gravity, a Geometrical Course’ presents general relativity (GR) in a systematic and exhaustive way, covering three aspects that are homogenized into a single texture: i) the mathematical, geometrical foundations, exposed in a self consistent contemporary formalism, ii) the main physical, astrophysical and cosmological applications, updated to the issues of contemporary research and observations, ...

  • Theory of Gravitational Interactions

    by Maurizio Gasperini ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This reference textbook is an up-to-date and self-contained introduction to the theory of gravitational interactions. The first part of the book follows the traditional presentation of general relativity as a geometric theory of the macroscopic gravitational field. A second, advanced part then discusses the deep analogies (and differences) between a geometric theory of gravity and the gauge ... 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
