This book reflects the resurgence of interest in the quantum properties of black holes, culminating most recently in controversial discussions about firewalls.

In these last years Black hole Physics has developed rapidly both from theoretical and observational aspects: especially as regards quantum aspects many things must be clarified as for instance the processes occuring near mini black holes with spontaneous creation of particles that eventually lead to the evaporation of black hole.

This book presents the Projective approach to de Sitter Relativity.

A comprehensive introduction to the methods of, and physics describable by, classical field theory.

Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions.

In light of the barrage of popular books on physics and cosmology, one may question the need for another.

This is the second edition of my book Galaxy Formation.

Der Glaube an die Gesetzmäßigkeit der Natur, das Streben, allge­ meine und universell gültige Gesetze zu finden, und die Hoffnung - oder sogar Erwartung -, der "Wahrheit" über die "Wirklichkeit" näher zu kommen, haben ihren Grund in einer besonderen persönlichen Welt­ sicht, die tiefere Wurzeln als alle naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und philosophischen Systeme hat.

Rafelski presents Special Relativity in a language deemed accessible to students without any topical preparation - avoiding the burden of geometry, tensor calculus, and space-time symmetries - and yet advancing in highly contemporary context all the way to research frontiers.

This book is unique and exceptional in dealing with the notion of physical time rigorously, both logically and empirically.

Nominated as an outstanding thesis by Professor Robert Crittenden of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation in Portsmouth, and winner of the Michael Penston Prize for 2014 given by the Royal Astronomical Society for the best doctoral thesis in Astronomy or Astrophysics, this work aims to shed light on one of the most important probes of the early Universe: the bispectrum of the cosmic microwave background.

Quasars, and the menagerie of other galaxies with "e;unusual nuclei"e;, now collectively known as Active Galactic Nuclei or AGN, have, in one form or another, sparked the interest of astronomers for over 60 years.

This book is about supergravity, which combines the principles of general relativity and local gauge invariance with the idea of supersymmetries between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom.

Covering all aspects of gravitation in a contemporary style, this advanced textbook is ideal for graduate students and researchers.

A straightforward introduction to General Relativity, explaining the physical, philosophical and mathematical ideas it is built on.

This book describes a relativistic quantum theory developed by the author starting from the E.

This book is the result of a Meeting held in L'Aquila (Italy) from the 19th to the 23rd of June 1989.

This second edition offers a comprehensive introduction to loop quantum gravity (LQG) in self-dual variables, including the necessary prerequisites.

This monograph presents the geoscientific context arising in decorrelative gravitational exploration to determine the mass density distribution inside the Earth.

An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational wavesIn 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves-ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large masses-as part of the theory of general relativity.

The asymmetry of natural phenomena under time reversal isstriking.

This self-contained monograph provides a mathematically simple and physically meaningful model which unifies gravity, electromagnetism, optics and even some quantum behavior.

When some useful information is hidden behind a mass of unwanted information we often resort to information processing used in its broad sense or specifically to signal processing when the useful information is a waveform.

 The book presents seven fundamental concepts in spacetime physics mostly by following Hermann Minkowski's revolutionary ideas summarized in his 1908 lecture "e;Space and Time.
