The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity: Memoirs of Bryce DeWitt from 1946 to 2004
ISBN: 9783642142697 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 1946 is the year Bryce DeWitt entered Harvard graduate school. Quantum Gravity was his goal and remained his goal throughout his lifetime until the very end. The pursuit of Quantum Gravity requires a profound understanding of Quantum Physics and Gravitation Physics. As G. A. Vilkovisky commented, "Quantum Gravity is a combination of two words, and one should know both. Bryce understood this as nobody else, and this wisdom is completely unknown to many authors of the flux of papers that we see nowadays."
Distingished physicist Cecile DeWitt-Morette skillfully blends her personal and... 1946 is the year Bryce DeWitt entered Harvard graduate school. Quantum Gravity was his goal and remained his goal throughout his lifetime until the ve...

Tides in Astronomy and Astrophysics
ISBN: 9783642329609 / Angielski / Miękka / 375 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on the lecture notes of a school titled 'Tides in Astronomy and Astrophysics' that brought together students and researchers, this book focuses on the fundamental theories of tides at different scales of the universe-from tiny satellites to whole galaxies-and on the most recent developments. It also attempts to place the study of tides in a historical perspective. Starting with a general tutorial on tides, the theme of tides is approached in 9 chapters from many directions. They allow non-experts to pick up a physical intuition and a sense of orders of magnitude in the theory of...

Mass and Motion in General Relativity
ISBN: 9789400735033 / Angielski / Miękka / 626 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the infinitesimal scale of particle physics to the cosmic scale of the universe, research is concerned with the nature of mass. While there have been spectacular advances in physics during the past century, mass still remains a mysterious entity at the forefront of current research. Our current perspective on gravitation has arisen over millennia, through the contemplation of falling apples, lift thought experiments and notions of stars spiraling into black holes. In this volume, the world's leading scientists offer a multifaceted approach to mass by giving a concise and introductory...

Euclidean Quantum Gravity on Manifolds with Boundary
ISBN: 9789401064521 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reflects our own struggle to understand the semiclassical behaviour of quantized fields in the presence of boundaries. Along many years, motivated by the problems of quantum cosmology and quantum field theory, we have studied in detail the one-loop properties of massless spin-l/2 fields, Euclidean Maxwell the ory, gravitino potentials and Euclidean quantum gravity. Hence our book begins with a review of the physical and mathematical motivations for studying physical theories in the presence of boundaries, with emphasis on electrostatics, vacuum v Maxwell theory and quantum...

Gravità, Stringhe E Particelle: Una Escursione Nell'ignoto
ISBN: 9788847055346 / Włoski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. E' un libro che parla di fisica rivolgendosi a lettori che non hanno necessariamente una preparazione specifica in questo campo, ma sono comunque interessati a scoprire la novita, l'originalita e le possibili strane implicazioni di alcune sorprendenti idee utilizzate dalla fisica teorica moderna. Si puo classificare come libro di divulgazione scientifica, ma di stampo piuttosto non convenzionale perche si focalizza non solo cio che e gia noto ma anche - e soprattutto - su cio che ancora e ignoto. Molte parti di questo libro sono infatti dedicate all'introduzione e all'illustrazione di modelli...

Einstein's Apple: Homogeneous Einstein Fields
ISBN: 9789813141599 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We lift a veil of obscurity from a branch of mathematical physics in a straightforward manner that can be understood by motivated and prepared undergraduate students as well as graduate students specializing in relativity. Our book on 'Einstein Fields' clarifies Einstein's very first principle of equivalence (1907) that is the basis of his theory of gravitation. This requires the exploration of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds, a program that was suggested by Elie Cartan in 'Riemannian Geometry in an Orthogonal Frame, ' a 2001 World Scientific publication.Einstein's first principle of...

Quantum Cybernetics: Toward a Unification of Relativity and Quantum Theory Via Circularly Causal Modeling
ISBN: 9781461270836 / Angielski / Miękka / 153 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written for non-specialists, this book discusses the apparent conflict between relativity and quantum mechanics. The author proposes a resolution based on a causal interpretation introduced by Louis deBroglie and elaborated by David Bohm. He shows that a "medium" or "aether" may be introduced in a manner consistent with both relativity and quantum theory, and which allows the two theories to be unified via the identification of circularly causal processes at their core. While several crucial experiments are discussed in detail, the mathematics is kept simple, making the discussion accessible...

Recent Developments in Gravitation: Cargèse 1978
ISBN: 9781461329572 / Angielski / Miękka / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theory of General Relativity, after its invention by Albert Einstein, remained for many years a monument of mathemati cal speculation, striking in its ambition and its formal beauty, but quite separated from the main stream of modern Physics, which had centered, after the early twenties, on quantum mechanics and its applications. In the last ten or fifteen years, however, the situation has changed radically. First, a great deal of significant exper en tal data became available. Then important contributions were made to the incorporation of general relativity into the framework of quantum...

RF Plasma Heating in Toroidal Fusion Devices
ISBN: 9781468416732 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Because of recent progress in the development of quasistationary toroidal mag netic confinement systems, especially tokamaks, these systems are at the center of research on controlled thermonuclear fusion. Tokamaks were proposed and first built at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. In the 1960s the basic features of plasma behavior in toroidal magnetic confinement systems were investigated in ex periments on the first tokamaks and the possibility of obtaining effective confine ment in them was demonstrated. The successes of this first stage led to a rapid ex pansion in tokamak research...

In diesem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, Schulern der oberen Klassen und allen, die sich fur Physik inter essieren, etwas uber die Gravitation zu vermitteln. Durch die gravitative Wechselwirkung-die schwachste aller in der Natur bekannten Wechselwirkungen-wird die Bewegung der Himmelskorper, der Planeten, Sterne und Galaxien, sowie die Entwicklung des Universums als Ganzes bestimmt. Unter Laborbedingungen sind die gra vitativen Effekte jedoch so klein, dass es keine leichte Aufgabe ist, sie zu messen.
