Titre(s) : Black holes, cosmology and extra dimensions [Texte électronique] / Kirill A. Bronnikov and Sergey G. Rubin

Publication : Singapore ; London : World Scientific, 2012

Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xiv, 427 pages)

Note(s) : Assuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity, this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes, wormholes, cosmology, and extra dimensions. Its first part is devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of alternative theories: scalar?tensor, f(R) and multidimensional theories. The second part is on cosmology, including inflation and a unified description of the whole evolution of the universe. The third part concerns multidimensional theories of gravity and contains a number of original r.
