  • Holographic Duality in Condensed Matter Physics

    by Jan Zaanen, Yan Liu, Ya-Wen Sun, Koenraad Schalm ...
    A pioneering treatise presenting how the new mathematical techniques of holographic duality unify seemingly unrelated fields of physics. This innovative development morphs quantum field theory, general relativity and the renormalisation group into a single computational framework and this book is the first to bring together a wide range of research in this rapidly developing field. Set within the ... Read more

    On Time

    Causality and the Quantum Gravity Conflict

    by Jan Zaanen ...
    Narrated by Richard Trinder ...

    Unabridged

    5 hours 11 min

    This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that ... Read more

  • An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics

    by W. N. Cottingham, D. A. Greenwood ...
    The second edition of this introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but accessible introduction to the Standard Model. It has been updated to account for the successes of the theory of strong interactions, and the observations on matter-antimatter asymmetry. It has become clear that neutrinos are not mass-less, and this book gives a coherent presentation of the phenomena and the theory ... Read more

  • Gauge/Gravity Duality

    Foundations and Applications

    by Martin Ammon, Johanna Erdmenger ...
    Gauge/gravity duality creates new links between quantum theory and gravity. It has led to new concepts in mathematics and physics, and provides new tools to solve problems in many areas of theoretical physics. This book is the first textbook on this important topic, enabling graduate students and researchers in string theory and particle, nuclear and condensed matter physics to get acquainted with ...

  • Symmetries in Fundamental Physics

    by Kurt Sundermeyer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Over the course of the last century it has become clear that both elementary particle physics and relativity theories are based on the notion of symmetries. These symmetries become manifest in that the "laws of nature" are invariant under spacetime transformations and/or gauge transformations. The consequences of these symmetries were analyzed as early as in 1918 by Emmy Noether on the level of ... Read more

  • Multifaceted Skyrmion, The (Second Edition)

    by Mannque Rho, Ismail Zahed ...
    This book presents, in the form of reviews by world's leading physicists in wide-ranging fields in theoretical physics, the influence and prescience of Skyrme's daring idea of 1960, originally conceived for nuclear physics, that fermions can arise from bosons via topological solitons, pervasively playing a powerful role in wide-ranging areas of physics, from nuclear/astrophysics, to particle ...

  • Thermodynamics And Equations Of State For Matter: From Ideal Gas To Quark-gluon Plasma

    by Vladimr E Fortov ...
    The monograph presents a comparative analysis of different thermodynamic models of the equations of state. The basic ideological premises of the theoretical methods and the experiment are considered. The principal attention is on the description of states that are of greatest interest for the physics of high energy concentrations which are either already attained or can be reached in the near ...

  • Beyond Classical Physics

    by Mark A. Cunningham ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This undergraduate textbook discusses the nature of the microscopic universe from a modern perspective, based on Einstein's notions of relativity and Noether's proof of the emergence of conservation laws from symmetries of the equations of motion. These ideas drove the development of the Standard Model of particle physics and subsequent attempts to define a unified (string) theory. The second half ... Read more

  • Phase Transitions in Two-Dimensional Complex Plasmas

    by Christina A. Knapek ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The two experimental studies reported in this thesis contribute important new knowledge about phase transitions in two-dimensional complex plasmas: in one case a determination of the coupling parameter (ratio of mean potential to mean kinetic energy of the particles in an ensemble), and in the other a detailed characterization of the non-equilibrium recrystallization of a two-dimensional system. ...
