| Title | Special Relativity : Will it Survive the Next 101 Years? |
| Author(s) | Ehlers, J??rgen;L??mmerzahl, Claus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006. |
| Description | XVI, 533 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | After a century of successes, physicists still feel the need to probe the limits of the validity of theories based on special relativity. Canonical approaches to quantum gravity, non-commutative geometry, string theory and unification scenarios predict tiny violations of Lorentz invariance at high energies. The present book, based on a recent seminar devoted to such frontier problems, contains reviews of the foundations of special relativity and the implications of Poincar?? invariance as well as comprehensive accounts of experimental results and proposed tests. The book addresses, besides researchers in the field, everyone interested in the conceptual and empirical foundations of our knowledge about space, time and matter |

| Title | Gravitational Lenses |
| Author(s) | Schneider, Peter;Ehlers, J??rgen;Falco, Emilio E |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 1992. |
| Description | XIV, 560 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The theory, observations, and applications ofgravitational lensingconstitute one ofthe most rapidly growing branches ofextragalactic astrophysics. The deflection of light from very distant sources by intervening masses provides a unique possibility for the investigation of both background sources and lens mass distributions. Gravitational lensing manifestsitselfmost distinctly through multiply imaged QSOs and the formation of highly elongated im?? ages of distant galaxies ('arcs') and spectacular ring-like images of extra?? galactic radio sources. But the effects of gravitational light deflection are not limited to these prominent image configurations; more subtle, since not directly observable, consequences of lensing are the, possibly strong, mag?? nification of sources, which may permit observation of intrinsically fainter, or more distant, sources than would be visible without these natural tele?? scopes. Such light deflection can also affect the source counts of QSOs and of other compact extragalactic sources, and can lead to flux variability of sources owing to propagation effects. Trying to summarizethe theory and observationalstatus ofgravitational lensing in a monograph turned out to be a bigger problem than any of the authors anticipated when we started this project at the end of 1987, encour?? aged by Martin Harwit, who originally approached us. The development in the field has been very rapid during the last four years, both through the?? ory and through observation, and many sections have been rewritten several times, as the previous versions became out of date |

| Title | Canonical Gravity: From Classical to Quantum : Proceedings of the 117th WE Heraeus Seminar Held at Bad Honnef, Germany, 13???17 September 1993 |
| Author(s) | Ehlers, J??rgen;Friedrich, Helmut |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1994. |
| Description | X, 372 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The search for a quantum gravity theory, a theory expected to combine the principles of general relativity and quantum theory, has led to some of the most deepest and most difficult conceptual and mathematical questions of modern physics. The present book, addressing these issues in the framework of recent versions of canonical quantization, is the first to present coherently the background for their understanding. Starting with an analysis of the structure of constrained systems and the problems of their quantization, it discusses the canonical formulation of classical relativity from different perspectives and leads to recent applications of canonical methods to create a quantum theory of gravity. The book aims to make accessible the most fundamental problems and to stimulate work in this field |
