Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions
ISBN: 9780521545884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This timely volume provides a broad survey of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. It emphasises the ???quantum cosmology??? of closed universes and the quantum mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole. It compares and contrasts a variety of approaches, and examines what they imply for a realistic theory of quantum gravity. General relativity in three spacetime dimensions has become a popular arena in which to explore the ramifications of quantum gravity. As a diffeomorphism-invariant theory of spacetime structure, this model shares many of the conceptual problems of realistic quantum...
