  • The Black Hole Information Paradox

    A Fifty-Year Journey

    Edited by Ali Akil, Cosimo Bambi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book reviews a few different derivations of the Hawking radiation, most main solutions to the paradox proposed in the literature, and some analog laboratory experiments. A black hole is an object whose gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its grasp. However, applying quantum field theory on a black hole background, Stephen Hawking showed that black holes are not ... Read more

  • Recent Progress on Gravity Tests

    Challenges and Future Perspectives

    Edited by Cosimo Bambi, Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Einstein's theory of general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics and it is our standard framework for describing gravitational fields and the spacetime structure. So far, general relativity has passed all experimental tests and agrees with observations. However, the past few years have seen remarkable observational improvements and new techniques that continually challenge the ... Read more

  • High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy

    Instrumentation, Data Analysis, and Science

    Edited by Cosimo Bambi, Jiachen Jiang ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton Observatory have been the pioneering satellites for studying the Universe with X-rays and the cornerstone of X-ray spectroscopy since their launches more than 20 years ago. The onboard gratings provide us a unique opportunity to distinguish individual spectral lines from different atoms thanks to their high energy resolutions. Enormous ... Read more

  • Regular Black Holes

    Towards a New Paradigm of Gravitational Collapse

    Edited by Cosimo Bambi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Black holes are one of the most fascinating predictions of general relativity. They are the natural product of the complete gravitational collapse of matter and today we have a body of observational evidence supporting the existence of black holes in the Universe. However, general relativity predicts that at the center of black holes there are spacetime singularities, where predictability is lost ... Read more

  • Introduction to General Relativity

    A Course for Undergraduate Students of Physics

    by Cosimo Bambi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Following the approach of Lev Landau and Evgenii Lifshitz, this book introduces the theory of special and general relativity with the Lagrangian formalism and the principle of least action. This method allows the complete theory to be constructed starting from a small number of assumptions, and is the most natural approach in modern theoretical physics. The book begins by reviewing Newtonian ... Read more
