Opis

A comprehensive account of new models of extra dimensions which form an important part of present-day high-energy physics.

Recenzje

'The book offers a detailed introduction to the topic of extra dimensions within the context of fundamental physics. It consists of fourteen chapters … clearly aimed at research students with an interest in both fundamental physics and exploring the possibility of extra dimensions. It is a very interesting book.' John Bartlett, Mathematics Today
