Cosmology and the universe

The effective theory of quantum gravity coupled to models of particle physics is being probed by cutting edge experiments in both high energy physics (searches for extra dimensions) and cosmology (testing models of inflation).

This concise book reviews methods used for gluing space-time manifolds together.

Cosmology is an unusual science with an unusual history.

The Structure of the Universe by Paul Halpern, Ph.

This thesis addresses two very different but equally important topics in the very broad fields of astrophysics and cosmology: (I) the generation of cosmological magnetic fields and (II) gravitational fragmentation of the Cosmic Web.

This thesis studies various aspects of non-critical strings both as an example of a non-trivial and solvable model of quantum gravity and as a consistent approximation to the confining flux tube in quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

This volume examines the way in which cultural ideas about "e;the heavens"e; shape religious ideas and are shaped by them in return.

This book addresses foundational questions raised by observational and theoretical progress in modern cosmology for a broad academic audience.

The universe literally encompasses everything we were, are and will be, everything we knew, know and can know.

The early 21st century marks a new era in space exploration.

This third edition of Malcolm Longair's highly acclaimed textbook is an up-to-date text on astrophysical cosmology expounding the structure of classical cosmological models from a contemporary viewpoint.

This thesis describes the use of the angular distributions of the most energetic dijets in data recorded by the ATLAS experiment, at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the goal of which is to search for phenomena beyond what the current theory of Particle Physics (the Standard Model) can describe.

Astronomy is a scienti?

Every second of every day, we are exposed to billions of neutrinos emitted by the Sun, and yet they seem to pass straight through us with no apparent effect at all.

Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time-war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.

Drawing on a vast array of scholarship, this pioneering text illustrates how profoundly astronomical phenomena shaped ancient Chinese civilization.

This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience.

This invaluable book presents selected papers of S Chandrasekhar, co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1983 and a scientific giant well known for his prolific and monumental contributions to astrophysics, physics and applied mathematics.

This book presents a new approach to the subject of cosmology.

This edited volume presents the current state of gas accretion studies from both observational and theoretical perspectives, and charts our progress towards answering the fundamental yet elusive question of how galaxies get their gas.

This book presents the most common types of instabilities arising in classical field theories, namely tachyonic, Laplacian, ghost-like or strong coupling instabilities, also commenting on their quantum implications.

For the past 20 years causality violations and superluminal motion have been the object of intensive study as physical and geometrical phenomena.

Trente ans après l’immense succès de Conversations sur l’invisible, voici Du nouveau dans l’invisible.

This book offers a new approach to design theory and practice that draws on Indigenous knowledges, methodologies and methods, presenting concepts of decolonising and Indigenous design that are interweaved as theory, storytelling, and practices.

Recent advances in the understanding of star formation and evolution have been impressive and aspects of that knowledge are explored in this volume.

A self-contained guide to the role played by neutrinos in the Universe and how their properties influence cosmological and astrophysical observations.

This book offers an original hypothesis capable of unifying evolution in the physical universe with evolution in biology; herewith it lays the conceptual foundations of "e;transdisciplinary unified theory"e;.

Presents a detailed analysis of modified theories of gravity, discussing their development, cosmological and astrophysical implications and outstanding challenges.
