The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Strings: Cosmic Strings in the Wire Approximation de M.R. Anderson

The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Strings: Cosmic Strings in the Wire Approximation: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

Autor M.R. Anderson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 noi 2002
This book is a comprehensive survey of the current state of knowledge about the dynamics and gravitational properties of cosmic strings treated in the idealized classical approximation as line singularities described by the Nambu-Goto action. The author's purpose is to provide a standard reference to all work that has been published since the mid-1970s and to link this work together in a single conceptual framework and a single notational formalism. A working knowledge of basic general relativity is assumed. The book will be essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students in mathematics, theoretical physics, and astronomy interested in cosmic strings.

Recenzii

"Anderson provides a comprehensive summary and review of the mathematical theory of cosmic strings. The subject is not in a state of rapid change so the book is up to date and it is likely to remain so for some time. Although the book is technical and requires a strong mathematical background and an interest in differential geometry, it is well written and reads easily … I found the later sections particularly interesting, especially the discussion of the infinite straight string and the associated singularity structure … This is a valuable reference work and compendium of results."
-D.R. Matravers, Contemporary Physics, 2003, 44/5
