This book offers an overview of the fundamental dynamical processes, which are necessary to understand astrophysical phenomena, from the viewpoint of hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, and radiation hydrodynamics.
The general theory of relativity, as formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, provided an astoundingly original perspective on the physical nature of gr- itation, showing that it could be understood as a feature of a curvature in the four-dimensional continuum of space-time.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.
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 corrected and enlarged edition of Borner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded.
This book is a concise primer on galactic radio astronomy for undergraduate and graduate students, and provides wide coverage of galactic astronomy and astrophysics such as the physics of interstellar matter and the dynamics and structure of the Milky Way Galaxy and galaxies.
We read in order to know we are not alone, I once heard, and perhaps it could also be suggested that we write in order not to be alone, to endorse, to promote continuity.
Keine wissenschaftliche Theorie ist auf solche Faszination auch außerhalb der Wissenschaft gestoßen wie die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie von Albert Einstein, und keine wurde so nachdrücklich mit den Mitteln der modernen Physik überprüft.
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.
This book provides a mathematical and numerical analysis of many problems which lead to paradoxes in contemporary cosmology, in particular, the existence of dark matter and dark energy.
The amount of cosmological data has dramatically increased in the past decades due to an unprecedented development of telescopes, detectors and satellites.
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.
This monograph provides an introduction to deformations of Poincare symmetries focusing on models with a Lie group momentum space and associated non-commutative space-times.
Based on class-tested notes, this text offers an introduction to Conformal Field Theory with a special emphasis on computational techniques of relevance for String Theory.

This book offers a compelling and philosophical exploration of the physical origins of inflation in the universe, grounded in the dimensional analysis of quantum mechanics and general relativity models.
This book gathers papers of the proceedings of the 15th Asia Pacific Physics Conference (APPC15) which is organized by the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS), and the conference was held almost on-line from 21 to 26 August 2022 and partly both on-line and on-site in Seoul, Korea.
This book comprehensively describes recent developments in the research of renormalizable quantum gravity, focusing on its application to physics beyond the Planck scale, particularly in inflationary cosmology.
In 1979 I gave graduate courses at the University of Zurich and lectured in the 'Troisieme Cycle de la Suisse Romande' (a consortium offour uni- versities in the french-speaking part of Switzerland), and these lectures were the basis of the 'Springer Lecture Notes in Physics', Volume 150, published in 1981.

Quantum gravity has developed into a fast-growing subject in physics and it is expected that probing the high-energy and high-curvature regimes of gravitating systems will shed some light on how to eventually achieve an ultraviolet complete quantum theory of gravity.
This book comprehensively describes recent developments in the research of renormalizable quantum gravity, focusing on its application to physics beyond the Planck scale, particularly in inflationary cosmology.
Since the first French edition of the book emphasized rather the solid facts of Cosmology than the detailed discussions of controversial results, relatively few revisions were necessary for the English edition.
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.

In this book the author derives, under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, general forms of the most common physical laws invariant under the changes of inertial or non-inertial coordinate systems, both in the classical and the quantum regime.
