Springer Handbook of Spacetime
Abhay Ashtekar, Vesselin Petkov (eds)
This Springer Handbook of Spacetime is dedicated to the ground-breaking paradigm shifts embodied in the two relativity theories and describes in detail the profound reshaping of the physical sciences that they ushered in. In a single volume it includes chapters on the foundations, the underlying mathematics, physical and astrophysical implications, experimental evidence and cosmological predictions, as well as chapters on efforts to unify general relativity and quantum physics.
The presentation is at an introductory level in that each chapter provides a bird's-eye view of a sub-area in which notable advances have occurred, especially in the past 30 years. Therefore, the Handbook can be used as a ready reference by researchers in a wide variety of fields, not only by specialists in relativity but also by researchers in related areas that either grew out of, or are deeply influenced by, the two relativity theories: cosmology, astronomy and astrophysics, high-energy physics, quantum field theory, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. It should also serve as a valuable resource for graduate students and young researchers entering these areas, and for instructors who teach courses on these subjects.
