Synopsis

The primary goal of this book is to allow students to understand in a critical way two pillars of modern theoretical physics: inflationary theory, and quantum black holes and the information-loss problem. Readers of this text will be well prepared to follow the theoretical developments in the field and undertake research projects as part of an MSc or PhD programme.

About the Author

Badis Ydri―cur­rently a pro­fes­sor of the­o­ret­i­cal par­ti­cle physics, teach­ing at the In­sti­tute of Physics, Badji Mokhtar Annaba Uni­ver­sity, Al­ge­ria―re­ceived his PhD from Syra­cuse Uni­ver­sity, New York, USA and in 2011 his Ha­bil­i­ta­tion from Annaba Uni­ver­sity, Annaba, Al­ge­ria. Pro­fes­sor Ydri is also a re­search as­so­ci­ate at the Dublin In­sti­tute for Advanced Stud­ies, Dublin, Ire­land, and a reg­u­lar ICTP as­so­ci­ate at the Abdus Salam Cen­ter for The­o­ret­i­cal Physics, Tri­este, Italy. His post-doc­toral ex­pe­ri­ence com­prises a Marie Curie fel­low­ship at Hum­boldt Uni­ver­sity Berlin, Ger­many, and a Hamil­ton fel­low­ship at the Dublin In­sti­tute for Ad­vanced Stud­ies, Ire­land. His cur­rent re­search di­rec­tions include: the gauge/grav­ity du­al­ity; the renor­mal­iza­tion group method in ma­trix and non­com­mu­ta­tive field the­o­ries; non-com­mu­ta­tive and ma­trix field the­ory; quan­tum grav­ity as emer­gent geom­e­try, emer­gent grav­ity and emer­gent cos­mol­ogy from ma­trix mod­els.
