Title Quantum Gravity : Mathematical Models and Experimental Bounds Author(s) Fauser, Bertfried;Tolksdorf, J??rgen;Zeidler, Eberhard Publication Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel 2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2007. Description XVI, 336 p : online resource Abstract Note The construction of a quantum theory of gravity is the most fundamental challenge confronting contemporary theoretical physics. The different physical ideas which evolved while developing a theory of quantum gravity require highly advanced mathematical methods. This book presents different mathematical approaches to formulate a theory of quantum gravity. It represents a carefully selected cross-section of lively discussions about the issue of quantum gravity which took place at the second workshop "Mathematical and Physical Aspects of Quantum Gravity" in Blaubeuren, Germany. This collection covers in a unique way aspects of various competing approaches. A unique feature of the book is the presentation of different approaches to quantum gravity making comparison feasible. This feature is supported by an extensive index. The book is mainly addressed to mathematicians and physicists who are interested in questions related to mathematical physics. It allows the reader to obtain a broad and up-to-date overview on a fascinating active research area. ISBN,Price 9783764379780 Keyword(s) 1. Applications of Mathematics 2. APPLIED MATHEMATICS 3.
