First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity краткое содержание

First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity - описание и краткое содержание, автор Gambini Rodolfo (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

This book provides an accessible introduction to loop quantum gravity and some of its applications, at a level suitable for undergraduate students and others with only a minimal knowledge of college level physics. In particular it is not assumed that the reader is familiar with general relativity and only minimally familiar with quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Most chapters end with problems that elaborate on the text, and aid learning. Applications suchas loop quantum cosmology, black hole entropy and spin foams are briefly covered. The text is ideally suited for an undergraduate course in the senior year of a physics major. It can also be used to introduce undergraduates to general relativity and quantum field theory as part of a special topicstype of course.
