Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;541Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-540-66910-8 Includes bibliographical references.Are We at the Dawn of Quantum-Gravity Phenomenology? -- Classical and Quantum Physics of Isolated Horizons: A Brief Overview -- Old and New Processes of Vorton Formation -- Anti-de Sitter Supersymmetry -- Combinatorial Dynamics and Time in Quantum Gravity -- Non-commutative Extensions of Classical Theories in Physics -- Conceptual Issues in Quantum Cosmology -- Single-Exterior Black Holes -- Dirac-Bergmann Observables for Tetrad Gravity -- Meaning of Noncommutative Geometry and the Planck-Scale Quantum Group -- Loop Quantum Gravity and the Meaning of Diffeomorphism Invariance -- Black Holes in String Theory -- Gravitational waves and massless particle fields.The aim of this book is to give graduate students an overview of quantum gravity but it also covers related topics from astrophysics. Some well-written contributions can serve as an introduction into basic conceptual concepts like time in quantum gravity or the emergence of a classical world from quantum cosmology. This makes the volume attractive to philosophers of science, too. Other topics are black holes, gravitational waves and non-commutative extensions of physical theories.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;541AstrophysicsCosmologyElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryGravitationString theoryAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Astrophysics.Cosmology.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Gravitation.String theory.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Cosmology.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.530.14/3Kowalski-Glikman Jerzyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtInternational Winter School on Theoretical PhysicsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139821503321Towards quantum gravity1502124UNINA
