| Title | Covariant Canonical Gauge Gravity |
| Author(s) | Vasak, David;Struckmeier, J??rgen;Kirsch, Johannes |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | X, 207 p. 12 illus., 10 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book starts with the mathematical basis of the theory - i.e. provide a brief sketch of the theory of manifolds and frame bundles, tensors and their transformations, relativistic kinematics, and aspects of non-flat space-time geometries. The definition of relevant physical quantities (torsion, curvature, non-metricity, tetrads, connection fields etc.) and important geometry concepts are also included. The main body of the book is devoted to a detailed derivation of the gauge theory of gravitation for scalar, vector (Proca and Maxwell) and Dirac spinor fields. Alternative approaches based on the Noether theorem and on the spinorial representation of the fields are also addressed, as well as important novel features related to the CCGG framework (Birkhoff theorem, field derivative identities etc.). In the last section of the volume the application of the CCGG theory to cosmology will be set out, resulting in a new understanding of dark energy and inflation. |

| Title | Discoveries at the Frontiers of Science : From Nuclear Astrophysics to Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions |
| Author(s) | Kirsch, Johannes;Schramm, Stefan;Steinheimer-Froschauer, Jan;St??cker, Horst |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XII, 374 p. 227 illus., 111 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | With contributions by leading theoreticians, this book presents the discoveries of hitherto hidden connections between seemingly unrelated fields of fundamental physics. The topics range from cosmology and astrophysics to nuclear-, particle- and heavy-ion science. A current example concerns the sensitivity of gravitational wave spectra to the phase structure of dense nuclear and quark matter in binary neutron star collisions. The contributions by Hanauske and Stoecker as well as Banik and Bandyopadhyay relate the consequent insights to hot dense nuclear matter created in supernova explosions and in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Studies of the equation of state for neutron stars are also presented, as are those for nuclear matter in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Other reviews focus on QCD-thermodynamics, charmed mesons in the quark-gluon plasma, nuclear theory, extensions to the standard general theory of relativity, new experimental developments in heavy ion collisions and renewable energy networks. The book will appeal to advanced students and researchers seeking a broad view of current challenges in theoretical physics and their interconnections. |
