It is therefore relevant to theorists working on branes, walls, domain walls, concepts frequently used in theoretical cosmology, astrophysics, and gravity theory. Nowadays, applications are also in theoretical condensed matter physics where Riemannian geometry appears. The book also reviews the history of matching conditions between two space-time manifolds from the early times of general relativity up to now.SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5431General relativity (Physics)GravitationCosmologyCondensed matterGlobal analysis (Mathematics)Manifolds (Mathematics)Geometry, DifferentialGeneral RelativityClassical and Quantum GravityCosmologyCondensed Matter PhysicsGlobal Analysis and Analysis on ManifoldsDifferential GeometryGeneral relativity (Physics)Gravitation.Cosmology.Condensed matter.Global analysis (Mathematics)Manifolds (Mathematics)Geometry, Differential.General Relativity.Classical and Quantum Gravity.Cosmology.Condensed Matter Physics.Global Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds.Differential Geometry.516.07Khakshournia Samad1460769Mansouri RezaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910770273203321The Art of Gluing Space-Time Manifolds3660722UNINA
