  • Gravity

    A Very Short Introduction

    de Timothy Clifton ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Gravity is one of the four fundamental interactions that exist in nature. It also has the distinction of being the oldest, weakest, and most difficult force to quantize. Understanding gravity is not only essential for understanding the motion of objects on Earth, but also the motion of all celestial objects, and even the expansion of the Universe itself. It was the study of gravity that led ... Leer más

  • An Illustrated Guide to Relativity

    de Tatsu Takeuchi ...
    Aimed at both physics students and non-science majors, this unique book explains Einstein's special theory of relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. The diagrams guide the reader, step-by-step, from the basics of relativity to advanced topics including the addition of velocities, Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the twin paradox, Doppler shift, and Einstein's famous ...

  • Dark Energy

    Theory and Observations

    de Luca Amendola, Shinji Tsujikawa ...
    Dark energy, the mysterious cause of the accelerating expansion of the universe, is one of the most important fields of research in astrophysics and cosmology today. Introducing the theoretical ideas, observational methods and results, this textbook is ideally suited to graduate courses on dark energy, and will also supplement advanced cosmology courses. Providing a thorough introduction to this ... Leer más

  • Advanced Mechanics and General Relativity

    de Joel Franklin ...
    Aimed at advanced undergraduates with background knowledge of classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism, this textbook presents both the particle dynamics relevant to general relativity, and the field dynamics necessary to understand the theory. Focusing on action extremization, the book develops the structure and predictions of general relativity by analogy with familiar physical systems. ... Leer más

  • Gravity, Strings and Particles

    A Journey Into the Unknown

    de 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 ... Leer más

  • The Vector Mode in the Second-order Cosmological Perturbation Theory

    de Shohei Saga ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis sheds valuable new light on the second-order cosmological perturbation theory, extensively discussing it in the context of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. It explores the observational consequences of the second-order vector mode, and addresses magnetic field generation and the weak lensing signatures, which are key phenomena of the vector mode.The author demonstrates ...

  • Infrared Non-local Modifications of General Relativity

    de Ermis Mitsou ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents significant new results on the problem of understanding the origin of dark energy in cosmology. The work develops an original approach based on modifications of General Relativity at cosmological scales, introducing non-local effective terms that can in principle emerge from fundamental local theories. Both the phenomenological consequences and theoretical aspects of the ... Leer más

  • Out of this World

    Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics

    de Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have ... Leer más

  • Basic Relativity

    An Introductory Essay

    de 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. ... Leer más

  • Variational Approach to Gravity Field Theories

    From Newton to Einstein and Beyond

    de 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 ... Leer más

  • Quantum Aspects of Black Holes

    Edición de 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, ... Leer más

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

    de 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 ... Leer más
