Description for Theory of Gravitational Interactions
Hardback. This up-to-date, self-contained review of the theory of gravitational interactions presents a traditional introduction, then discuss analogies and differences between a geometric theory of gravity and the gauge theories of the other fundamental interactions. Series: UNITEXT for Physics. Num Pages: 373 pages, 14 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDV; PHR; PHS; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 748.
This is the second edition of a well-received book that is a modern, self-contained introduction to the theory of gravitational interactions. The new edition includes more details on gravitational waves of cosmological origin, the so-called brane world scenario, and gravitational time-delay effects.The first part of the book follows the traditional presentation of general relativity as a geometric theory of the macroscopic gravitational field, while the second, more advanced part discusses the deep analogies (and differences) between a geometric theory of gravity and the gauge theories of the other fundamental interactions. This fills a gap within the traditional approach to general relativity ... Read more
