Beyond Einstein Gravity: A Survey of Gravitational Theories for Cosmology and Astrophysics
ISBN: 9789400734029 / Angielski / Miękka / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beyond Einstein's Gravity is a graduate level introduction to extended theories of gravity and cosmology, including variational principles, the weak-field limit, gravitational waves, mathematical tools, exact solutions, as well as cosmological and astrophysical applications. The book provides a critical overview of the research in this area and unifies the existing literature using a consistent notation. Although the results apply in principle to all alternative gravities, a special emphasis is on scalar-tensor and f(R) theories. They were studied by theoretical physicists from early on, and...

Die Spezielle Relativitätstheorie: Einsteins Welt in Einer Neuen Axiomatik
ISBN: 9783658007126 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Spezielle Relativitatstheorie steht und fallt mit der universellen Konstanz der Lichtgeschwindigkeit. Darauf grundet die Einstein-Minkowski-Axiomatik, die wegen ihrer grundsatzlichen Bedeutung in keinem Lehrbuch zur Theoretischen Physik fehlen darf. Hier soll auerdem auf eine zweite, unabhangige, aber vollkommen aquivalente axiomatische Darstellung aufmerksam gemacht werden, die weniger abstrakt und daher geeignet ist, auch demjenigen einen Einstieg in die relativistische Welt zu erschlieen, der nicht unbedingt theo-re-tischer Physiker werden will. Dabei geht es dann primar um den Gang... Die Spezielle Relativitatstheorie steht und fallt mit der universellen Konstanz der Lichtgeschwindigkeit. Darauf grundet die Einstein-Minkowski-Axi... |

Asymptotic Safety and Black Holes
ISBN: 9783319012933 / Angielski / Twarda / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the open challenges in fundamental physics is to combine Einstein's theory of general relativity with the principles of quantum mechancis. In this thesis, the question is raised whether metric quantum gravity could be fundamental in the spirit of Steven Weinberg's seminal asymptotic safety conjecture, and if so, what are the consequences for the physics of small, possibly Planck-size black holes? To address the first question, new techniques are provided which allow, for the first time, a self-consistent study of high-order polynomial actions including up to 34 powers in the Ricci...

The Search for Non-Newtonian Gravity
ISBN: 9781461271444 / Angielski / Miękka / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A history of the attempts to test the predictions of Newtonian Gravity, describing in detail recent experimental efforts to verify both the inverse-square law and the Equivalence Principle. Interest in these questions has increased in recent years, as it has become recognised that deviations from Newtonian gravity could be a signal for a new fundamental force in nature. This is the first book devoted entirely to this subject, and will thus be useful to both graduate students and researchers interested in this field. It describes the ideas that underlie searches for such deviations, focusing...

Generalized Perturbations in Modified Gravity and Dark Energy
ISBN: 9783319012094 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity are compared against observations of our Universe, a huge inconsistency is found. The most popular fix for this inconsistency is to "invent" around 94% of the content of the universe: dark matter and dark energy. The dark energy is some exotic substance responsible for the apparent observed acceleration of the Universe. Another fix is to modify the theory of gravity: it is entirely plausible that Einstein's theory of General Relativity breaks down on cosmological scales, just as Newton's theory of gravity breaks down in the extreme...

Gravity: How the Weakest Force in the Universe Shaped Our Lives
ISBN: 9780312616298 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A history of gravity, and a study of its importance and relevance to our lives, as well as its influence on other areas of science. Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance. Einstein picked up on the simple premise that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable to devise his mind-bending general relativity, showing how matter warps space and time. Not only did this explain how gravity... A history of gravity, and a study of its importance and relevance to our lives, as well as its influence on other areas of science. Physicis... |

Arnold Sommerfeld: Science, Life and Turbulent Times 1868-1951
ISBN: 9781461474609 / Angielski / Miękka / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The subject of the book is a biography of the theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951). Although Sommerfeld is famous as a quantum theorist for the elaboration of the semi-classical atomic theory (Bohr-Sommerfeld model, Sommerfeld's fine-structure constant), his role in the history of modern physics is not confined to atoms and quanta.
Sommerfeld left his mark in the history of mathematics, fluid mechanics, a number of physical subdisciplines and, in particular, as founder of a most productive "school" (Peter Debye, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Linus Pauling and Hans...

Gravitational Lenses
ISBN: 9781461276555 / Angielski / Miękka / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theory, observations, and applications ofgravitational lensingconstitute one ofthe most rapidly growing branches ofextragalactic astrophysics. The deflection of light from very distant sources by intervening masses provides a unique possibility for the investigation of both background sources and lens mass distributions. Gravitational lensing manifestsitselfmost distinctly through multiply imaged QSOs and the formation of highly elongated im- ages of distant galaxies ('arcs') and spectacular ring-like images of extra- galactic radio sources. But the effects of gravitational light...

Random Surfaces and Quantum Gravity
ISBN: 9781461366812 / Angielski / Miękka / 407 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Cargese Workshop Random Surfaces and Quantum Gravity was held from May 27 to June 2, 1990. Little was known about string theory in the non-perturbative regime before Oetober 1989 when non-perturbative equations for the string partition functions were found by using methods based on the random triangulations of surfaees. This set of methods pro- vides a deseription of non-eritical string theory or equivalently of the coupling of matter fields to quantum gravity in two dimensions. The Cargese meeting was very successful in that it provided the first opportunity to gather most of the active...

On the Path of Albert Einstein
ISBN: 9781468435986 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this centennial year of Albert Einstein's birth, physicists are inspired more than ever and most enthusiastic to talk about the scientific works and human side of the greatest scientist of 'all time. Only until two decades ago, the General Theory of Relativity was not included in most university graduate programs - it remained as a separate discipline in physics, to be studied sometime in the future if time could be alloted for it. Albert Einstein regarded general relativity as his greatest achievement in physics compared to all other epoch-making contributions he made, including the dis...

Understanding Relativity: Origin and Impact of a Scientific Revolution
ISBN: 9781468467345 / Angielski / Miękka / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central subject matter of this book is Einstein's special theory of relativiry. While it is a book that is written primarily for a lay audience this does not necessarily mean an audience not versed in the ways of doing science. Rather, this book is written for anyone wishing to consider the nature of the scientific enterprise: where ideas come from, how they become established and accepted, what the relationships are among theories, predictions, and measurements, or the relationship between ideas in a scientific theory and the values held to be important within the larger culture. Some...
