Applications of quantum field theoretical methods to gravitational physics, both in the semiclassical and the full quantum frameworks, require a careful formulation of the fundamental basis of quantum theory, with special attention to such important issues as renormalization, quantum theory of gauge theories, and especially effective action formalism.

This book deals with theoretical mechanics.

This book investigates Lorentzian structures in the four-dimensional space-time, supplemented either by a covector field of the time-direction or by a scalar field of the global time.

These three lectures cover a certain aspect of complexity and black holes, namely the relation to the second law of thermodynamics.

This book meticulously examines over one hundred documents of research notes by Albert Einstein, many of which were previously unidentified, held in the archives of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech.

In this book are reported the main results presented at the "e;Fourth International Workshop on Data Analysis in Astronomy"e;, held at the Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture, Erice, Sicily, Italy, on April 12-19, 1991.

zurTheoretischenPhysik Mit diesem mehrbändigen Werk lege ich ein Lehrbuch der Theore- schen Physik vor, das dem an vielen deutschsprachigen Universitäten eingeführten Aufbau der Vorlesungen folgt: die Mechanik und die nic- relativistische Quantenmechanik, die in Geist, Zielsetzung und Met- dik nahe verwandt sind, stehen nebeneinander und stellen die Grund- gen für das Hauptstudium bereit, die eine für die klassischen Gebiete, die andere für Wahlfach- und Spezialvorlesungen.
