Hardback. Condition: New. "The authors provide an up-to-date, well-organised background and essential elements of supergravity notions as well as all relevant aspects of Chern-Simons forms in gravitation. The book is a self-contained, informative, and much-needed broad introduction into the latest quantum gravity concepts, with a main focus on Chern-Simons gravity and supersymmetry . The book represents a comprehensive and systematic pedagogical exposition on gravitational Chern-Simons (Super)gravity theories, their applications, together with a selection of related recent developments in the field."Contemporary PhysicsThis book grew out of a set of lecture notes on gravitational Chern-Simons (CS) theories developed over the past decade for several schools and different audiences including graduate students and researchers.CS theories are gauge-invariant theories that can include gravity consistently. They are only defined in odd dimensions and represent a very special class of theories in the Lovelock family. Lovelock gravitation theories are the natural extensions of General Relativity for dimensions greater than four that yield second-order field equations for the metric. These theories also admit local supersymmetric extensions where supersymmetry is an off-shell symmetry of the action, as in a standard gauge theory.Apart from the arguments of mathematical elegance and beauty, the gravitational CS actions are exceptionally endowed with physical attributes that suggest the viability of a quantum interpretation. CS theories are gauge-invariant, scale-invariant and background independent; they have no dimensional coupling constants. All constants in the Lagrangian are fixed rational coefficients that cannot be adjusted without destroying gauge invariance. This exceptional status of CS systems makes them classically interesting to study, and quantum mechanically intriguing and promising.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 310 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In life and work, Claudio Bunster (formerly Teitelboim) prefers extreme challenges. Bunster, a physicist who contemplates brain-warping theories of space and time, returned to his native Chile from the United States precisely when most intellectuals would have stayed clear- during the middle of the Pinochet dictatorship (K. Mossman, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)Against this backdrop, Bunster founded the Centro de Estudios Científicos (CECS), a world class institute for frontier science research in Chile. His mentor, John A. Wheeler often used Teddy Roosevelt's advice, "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have." "I followed his advice," said Bunster. "At latitude 40°S there is a science institute where one can find the footprints of Wheeler in every corner."As a true pioneer, Bunster was ahead of his time, opening roads, pushing the frontiers, under extreme conditions, in unexplored environments. Throughout his career, black holes, monopoles, the Antarctic vastness and the entire universe, have been the objects of his fascination: extreme, simple objects where beauty is best captured and displayed.On 10 and 11 January 2008, the meeting Quantum Mechanics of Fundamental Systems: The Quest for Beauty and Simplicity -Claudio's Fest took place in Valdivia to celebrate Claudio Bunster's 60th birthday. This volume collects the contributions that were discussed at this meeting by many of Bunster's colleagues and longtime collaborators. Articles by L. Brink, S. Carlip, F. Englert, S. Hawking, M. Henneaux, C.W. Misner and L. Susskind, among others, highlight the broad impact of Bunster, providing unique insightful views on many topics addressed by him in his scientific career, ranging from black holes and symmetries in gravity and supergravity, to cosmology.The meeting was co-organized by the CECS and the International Solvay Institutes.…
