Cosmology, Quantum Vacuum and Zeta Functions In Honor of Emilio Elizalde

Cosmology, Quantum Vacuum and Zeta Functions: In Honor of Emilio Elizalde by Sergey D. Odintsov, Diego Sáez-Gómez, Sebastian Xambó-Descamps
English | PDF (True) | 2011 | 379 Pages | ISBN : 3642197590 | 7.95 MB

Some major developments of physics in the last three decades are addressed by highly qualified specialists in different specific fields. They include renormalization problems in QFT, vacuum energy fluctuations and the Casimir effect in different configurations, and a wealth of applications. A number of closely related issues are also considered. The cosmological applications of these theories play a crucial role and are at the very heart of the book; in particular, the possibility to explain in a unified way the whole history of the evolution of the Universe: from primordial inflation to the present day accelerated expansion. Further, a description of the mathematical background underlying many of the physical theories considered above is provided. This includes the uses of zeta functions in physics, as in the regularization problems in QFT already mentioned, specifically in curved space-time, and in Casimir problems as.

Lectures on Cosmology: Accelerated Expansion of the Universe (Repost)

Lectures on Cosmology: Accelerated Expansion of the Universe by Georg Wolschin
English | PDF (True) | 2010 | 188 Pages | ISBN : 3642105971 | 3.55 MB

The lectures that four authors present in this volume investigate core topics related to the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Accelerated expansion occured in the ?36 very early Universe – an exponential expansion in the in ationary period 10 s after the Big Bang. This well-established theoretical concept had rst been p- posed in 1980 by Alan Guth to account for the homogeneity and isotropy of the observable universe, and simultaneously by Alexei Starobinski, and has since then been developed by many authors in great theoretical detail. An accelerated expansion of the late Universe at redshifts z< 1 has been disc- ered in 1998; the expansion is not slowing down under the in uence of gravity, but is instead accelerating due to some uniformly distributed, gravitationally repulsive substance accounting for more than 70% of the mass–energy content of the U- verse, which is now known as dark energy. Its most common interpretation today is given in terms of the so-called CDM model with a cosmological constant.

Physics, Geometry and Topology

Physics, Geometry and Topology by H. C. Lee
English | PDF | 1990 | 680 Pages | ISBN : 0306436930 | 54.88 MB

The Banff NATO Summer School was held August 14-25, 1989 at the Banff Cen­ tre, Banff, Albert, Canada. It was a combination of two venues: a summer school in the annual series of Summer School in Theoretical Physics spon­ sored by the Theoretical Physics Division, Canadian Association of Physi­ cists, and a NATO Advanced Study Institute. The Organizing Committee for the present school was composed of G. Kunstatter (University of Winnipeg), H.C. Lee (Chalk River Laboratories and University of Western Ontario), R. Kobes (University of Winnipeg), D.l. Toms (University of Newcastle Upon Tyne) and Y.S. Wu (University of Utah). Thanks to the group of lecturers (see Contents) and the timeliness of the courses given, the school, entitled PHYSICS, GEOMETRY AND TOPOLOGY, was popular from the very outset.

The Landscape of Theoretical Physics: A Global View

The Landscape of Theoretical Physics: A Global View: From Point Particles to the Brane World and Beyond in Search of a Unifying Principle by Matej Pavšič

Today many important directions of research are being pursued more or less independently of each other. These are, for instance, strings and mem branes, induced gravity, embedding of spacetime into a higher dimensional space, the brane world scenario, the quantum theory in curved spaces, Fock Schwinger proper time formalism, parametrized relativistic quantum the ory, quantum gravity, wormholes and the problem of “time machines”, spin and supersymmetry, geometric calculus based on Clifford algebra, various interpretations of quantum mechanics including the Everett interpretation, and the recent important approach known as “decoherence”.

Effective Spacetime: Understanding Emergence in Effective Field Theory and Quantum Gravity (Repost)

Effective Spacetime: Understanding Emergence in Effective Field Theory and Quantum Gravity by Karen Crowther
English | PDF,EPUB | 2016 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3319395068 | 4.3 MB

This book discusses the notion that quantum gravity may represent the "breakdown" of spacetime at extremely high energy scales. If spacetime does not exist at the fundamental level, then it has to be considered "emergent", in other words an effective structure, valid at low energy scales. The author develops a conception of emergence appropriate to effective theories in physics, and shows how it applies (or could apply) in various approaches to quantum gravity, including condensed matter approaches, discrete approaches, and loop quantum gravity.

Gravitational Theories Beyond General Relativity (Repost)

Gravitational Theories Beyond General Relativity by Iberê Kuntz
English | EPUB | 2019 | 82 Pages | ISBN : 3030211967 | 4.8 MB

Despite the success of general relativity in explaining classical gravitational phenomena, several problems at the interface between gravitation and high energy physics still remain open. The purpose of this thesis is to explore quantum gravity and its phenomenological consequences for dark matter, gravitational waves and inflation. A new formalism to classify gravitational theories based on their degrees of freedom is introduced and, in light of this classification, it is argued that dark matter is no different from modified gravity.

Cosmological and Black Hole Apparent Horizons by Valerio Faraoni
English | EPUB | 2015 | 212 Pages | ISBN : 3319192396 | 2.4 MB

This book overviews the extensive literature on apparent cosmological and black hole horizons.
In theoretical gravity, dynamical situations such as gravitational collapse, black hole evaporation, and black holes interacting with non-trivial environments, as well as the attempts to model gravitational waves occurring in highly dynamical astrophysical processes, require that the concept of event horizon be generalized.

Challenges to the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Theory and Experiment

Challenges to the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Theory and Experiment by Vladislav Čápek
English | PDF | 2005 | 368 Pages | ISBN : 1402030150 | 7.2 MB

The second law of thermodynamics is considered one of the central laws of science, engineering and technology. For over a century it has been assumed to be inviolable by the scientific community. Over the last 10-20 years, however, more than two dozen challenges to it have appeared in the physical literature - more than during any other period in its 150-year history.
