Deparametrization and Path Integral Quantization of Cosmological Models
ISBN: 9789810247416 / Angielski / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, homogeneous cosmological models whose Hamilton -- Jacobi equation is separable are deparametrized by turning their action functional into that of an ordinary gauge system. Canonical gauges imposed on the gauge system are used to define global phase time in terms of the canonical variables of the minisuperspace. The procedure clearly shows how the geometry of the constraint surface restricts the choice of time. The consequences that this has for path integral quantization are discussed, and the transition amplitude is obtained from relativistic isotropic models, relativistic...

Rotation and Accretion Powered Pulsars
ISBN: 9789810247447 / Angielski / Twarda / 792 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an introduction to pulsars, a key area in high energy astrophysics with potential for further fundamental discoveries. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on the intimate connection between rotation-powered pulsars and accretion-powered pulsars -- a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Early texts on pulsars dealt almost exclusively with rotation-powered ones, while later texts on X-ray binaries concentrated almost entirely on accretion-powered pulsars. This is the first book to treat the two kinds of pulsars on the same footing, stressing the connection between their physical...
