Gravity

This book investigates conformal line defects in both the weak- and strong-coupling regimes. Conformal field theory finds applications across diver...

Gravity is the weakest of the natural forces and yet it dominates our lives. We know how to make use of its properties and how to overcome it. But ...

. The main aim of this book is to shine a spotlight on key experiments and their crucial importance for advancing our understanding of physics. Phy...

A unified quantum theory incorporating the four fundamental forces of nature is one of the major open problems in physics. The Standard Model combi...

This book provides a mathematical and numerical analysis of many problems which lead to paradoxes in contemporary cosmology, in particular, the exi...

In this book the author derives, under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, general forms of the most common physical la...

This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion t...

A short, graduate-level synthesis of recent developments in theoretical physics, from a pioneer in the fieldLectures on the Infrared Structure of G...

First published in 1973, Gravitation is a landmark graduate-level textbook that presents Einstein's general theory of relativity and offers a rigor...

This book offers a clear account of timelessness together with the discussion of temporality in fundamental physics and cosmology. The multi-discip...

The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the theory of everything that combines all the forces of nature, including gravity. This book addr...

Understanding the stars is the bedrock of modern astrophysics. Stars are the source of life. The chemical enrichment of our Milky Way and of the Un...

During recent decades, strong gravitational lensing has become a powerful tool to study astronomical objects with widely different physical scales....
