No-go theoremsAssuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity, this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes, wormholes, cosmology, and extra dimensions. Its first part is devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of alternative theories: scalar-tensor, f(R) and multidimensional theories. The second part is on cosmology, including inflation and a unified description of the whole evolution of the universe. The third part concerns multidimensional theories of gravity and contains a number of original rGeneral relativity (Physics)Special relativity (Physics)Black holes (Astronomy)Wormholes (Physics)GravitationCosmologyGeneral relativity (Physics)Special relativity (Physics)Black holes (Astronomy)Wormholes (Physics)Gravitation.Cosmology.523Bronnikov Kirill A1612863Rubin Sergei G1612864MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818802903321Black holes, cosmology and extra dimensions3941864UNINA
