Bridging the gap between standard textbook material in cosmology and the forefront of research, this book also constitutes a modern source of reference for the experienced researcher in classical and quantum cosmology.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;592GravitationPhysicsQuantum field theoryString theoryClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Gravitation.Physics.Quantum field theory.String theory.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.523.1Cotsakis Spirosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPapantonopoulos Eleftheriosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAegean Summer SchoolMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910146556003321Cosmological crossroads377252UNINA
