Description for Asymptotic Safety and Black Holes
Hardcover. This book provides new evidence for a UV fixed point in quantum gravity including an unprecedented number of curvature invariants. It will stimulate further progress in black hole physics using renormalization group techniques. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 201 pages, 29 black & white illustrations, 18 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDV; PHH; PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 164 x 16. Weight in Grams: 450.
One of the open challenges in fundamental physics is to combine Einstein's theory of general relativity with the principles of quantum mechancis. In this thesis, the question is raised whether metric quantum gravity could be fundamental in the spirit of Steven Weinberg's seminal asymptotic safety conjecture, and if so, what are the consequences for the physics of small, possibly Planck-size black holes? To address the first question, new techniques are provided which allow, for the first time, a self-consistent study of high-order polynomial actions including up to 34 powers in the Ricci scalar. These novel insights are then exploited to ... Read more
