The prevailing philosophy is that lower dimensional models of gravity provide a useful arena for developing new ideas and insights, which are applicable to four dimensional gravity. The first chapter consists of a comprehensive introduction to both two and three dimensional gravity, including a discussion of their basic structures. In the second chapter, the asymptotic structure of three dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant is analyzed. The third chapter contains a treatment 606 $aQuantum gravity 606 $aSupergravity 606 $aGauge fields (Physics) 606 $aGeneral relativity (Physics) 606 $aSymmetry (Physics) 606 $aSpace and time 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aMathematical physics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aQuantum gravity. 615 0$aSupergravity. 615 0$aGauge fields (Physics) 615 0$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 615 0$aSymmetry (Physics) 615 0$aSpace and time. 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aMathematical physics. 676 $a530.11 700 $aBrown$b John David$0860457 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463211803321 996 $aLower dimensional gravity$91919784 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02834ojm 2200289z- 450 001 9910155501403321 005 20251118111254.0 010 $a0-06-266939-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000000975108 035 $a(BIP)056623811 035 $a(ODN)ODN0002926090 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000975108 100 $a20231107c2017uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aFurious George : My Forty Years Surviving Nba Divas, Clueless Gms, and Poor Shot Selection 210 $cHarperCollins 330 8 $aThe most outspoken and combative coach in NBA history--and one of the most successful, amassing more than 1,175 victories, the sixth best winning record ever--reflects on his life, his career, and his battles on and off the basketball court in this no-holds-barred memoirA man of deep passion and intensity, George Karl earned his bad boy reputation while playing at the University of North Carolina, a rap that continued through the five years he spent with the San Antonio Spurs--and long after he stopped playing.Karl's beery nights, fistfights, and barking followed him into a thirty-five-year coaching career. In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times. After leading a team beset by injuries and with no superstar to its best season of all time--an achievement that earned Karl the title NBA Coach of the Year--he was dumped by the Denver Nuggets in 2013. Less than a year and a half later, Karl was at the helm of the Sacramento Kings, snarling and bellowing on the sidelines before being cut loose in May 2016.Intense, obstinate, and loud, Karl has never backed down from a confrontation, whether with management, officials, or star players, as NBA legends from Allan Iverson to Gary Payton to Carmelo Anthony to Demarcus Cousins can attest. Telling his story, Karl holds nothing back as he speaks out about the game that has defined his life, including the greed, selfishness, and ass-covering he believes are characteristic of the modern NBA player, and the rampant corruption that leads all the way to the office of the NBA commissioner, David Stern. Karl also reveals how he's learned to deal with the personalities, the pressure, and the setbacks with a resilience he acquired from his three bouts with cancer.Raw, hard-hitting, and brutally honest, Furious George is as thrilling, unpredictable, and entertaining as the game that has defined Karl's life. 517 $aFurious George 610 $aSports & Recreation 610 $aSports And Games 700 $aKarl$b George$01436717 702 $aSampson$b Curt 702 $aCampbell$b Danny$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910155501403321 996 $aFurious George : My Forty Years Surviving Nba Divas, Clueless Gms, and Poor Shot Selection$93595901 997 $aUNINA
