Der vorliegende Klassiker bietet Studierenden und Forschenden in den Gebieten der Theoretischen und Mathematischen Physik eine ideale Einführung in die Differentialgeometrie und Topologie.
Dieses Lehrbuch bietet eine in der Form neue und einmalige Darstellung der speziellen Relativitätstheorie, in der präzise und nachvollziehbar die Grundlagen entwickelt und dabei zahlreiche gängige Missverständnisse zu vermeintlichen Folgerungen aus der Theorie ausgeräumt werden.
Das Lehrbuch soll Studierende mit Grundkenntnissen der Differential- und Integralrechnung in die klassische Feldtheorie mit modernen mathematischen Methoden einführen.
Based on graduate school lectures in contemporary relativity and gravitational physics, this book gives a complete and unified picture of the present status of theoretical and observational properties of astrophysical black holes.
Dieses Lehrbuch verknüpft die mathematischen Grundlagen der speziellen und allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie mit zahlreichen Anwendungsgebieten aus Physik und Astronomie.
Due to steadily improving experimental accuracy, relativistic concepts - based on Einstein's theory of Special and General Relativity - are playing an increasingly important role in modern geodesy.
The reader will find in this volume the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy between August 6 and August 17, 1990 under the title "e;Predictability, Stability, and Chaos in N-Body Dynamical Systems"e;.
In recent years the subject of relativistic fluid dynamics has found substantial applications in astrophysics and cosmology (theories of gravitational collapse, models of neutron stars, galaxy formation), as well as in plasma physics (relativistic fluids have been considered as models for relativistic particle beams) and nuclear physics (relativistic fluids are currently used in the analysis of the heavy ion reactions).
The express purpose of these lecture notes is to go through some aspects of the simplicial quantum gravity model known as the dynamical triangula- tions approach.
From August 21 through August 27, 1989 the Nato Advanced Research Workshop Probabilistic Methods in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity"e; was held at l'Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques, Cargese, France.
Dieses Buch räumt mit der Vorstellung auf, dass esoterische und alternativmedizinische Konzepte mit der Relativitätstheorie und Quantenphysik zu begründen wären: „Die Quantenheilung basiert auf den Erkenntnissen der Quantenphysik“, heißt es in Internetseiten, Büchern und Broschüren zahlreicher Alternativmediziner.
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.
Aside from the obvious statement that it should be a theory capable of unifying general relativity and quantum field theory, not much is known about the true nature of quantum gravity.
Die beiden Säulen der modernen Physik sind die Quantenmechanik zur Beschreibung der subatomaren Welt sowie die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie zum Verständnis der Gravitation und des Universums.
The spinor calculus employed in general relativity is a very useful tool; many expressions and computations are considerably simplified if one makes use of spinors instead of tensors.
The aim of this textbook is to present in a comprehensive way several advanced topics of general relativity, including gravitational waves, tests of general relativity, time delay, spinors in curved spacetime, Hawking radiation, and geodetic precession to mention a few.
Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics.
Thisbook provides the reader with a detailed and captivating account of the storywhere, for the first time, physicists ventured into proposing a new force ofnature beyond the four known ones - the electromagnetic, weak and strongforces, and gravitation - based entirely on the reanalysis of existingexperimental data.
This book represents the proceedings from the NATO sponsored Advanced Research Workshop entitled "e;Observational Tests of Inflation"e; held at the University of Durham, England on the 10th-14th December, 1990.
Divided into four parts, this book covers recent developments in topics pertaining to gravity theories, including discussions on the presence of scalar fields.
This book discusses in detail the special theory of relativity without including all the instruments of theoretical physics, enabling readers who are not budding theoretical physicists to develop competence in the field.
Relativity Made Relatively Easy presents an extensive study of Special Relativity and a gentle (but exact) introduction to General Relativity for undergraduate students of physics.
