It traces the development of renewed interest in models of the universe at constant positive curvature such as "vacuum" geometry. The De Sitter Theory of Relativity, formulated in 1917 with Willem De Sitter's solution of the Einstein equations, was used in different fields during the 1950s and 1960s, in the work of H. Bacry, J.M. LevyLeblond and F.Gursey, to name some important contributors. From the 1960s to 1980s, L. Fantappié and G. Arcidiacono provided an elegant group approach to the De Sitter universe putting the basis for special and general projective relativity. Today such suggestions flow into a unitary scenario, and this way the De Sitter Relativity is no more a "missing opportunity" (F. Dyson, 1972), but has a central role in theoretical physics. In this volume a systematic presentation is given of the De Sitter Projective relativity, with the recent developments in projective general relativity and quantum cosmology.SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5423GravitationCosmologyQuantum theoryClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Gravitation.Cosmology.Quantum theory.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Cosmology.Quantum Physics.530.1Licata Ignazioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut440686Chiatti Leonardoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBenedetto Elmoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910741139203321De Sitter Projective Relativity3553597UNINA
