The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time
Av S. W. Hawking, G. F. R. Ellis m. fl.
Häftad, 1975
710 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in …
Spinors and Space-Time: Volume 2, Spinor and Twistor Methods in Space-Time Geometry
Av Roger Penrose, Wolfgang Rindler m. fl.
Häftad, 1988
1200 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In the two volumes that comprise this work Roger Penrose and Wolfgang Rindler introduce the calculus of 2-spinors and the theory of twistors, and discuss in detail how these powerful and elegant methods may be used to elucidate the structure and properties of space-time. In volume 1, Two-spinor …

Quantum field theory forms the present theoretical framework for our understanding of the fundamental interactions of particle physics. This up-dated and expanded text examines gauge theories and their symmetries with an emphasis on their physical and technical aspects. Beginning with a new chapter …
Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions
Av Steven Carlip, Peter Landshoff m. fl.
Häftad, 2003
1051 kr
Lägg i varukorg
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 …
