| Title | Line Defects in Conformal Field Theory : From Weak to Strong Coupling |
| Author(s) | Barrat, Julien |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 222 p. 38 illus., 12 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book investigates conformal line defects in both the weak- and strong-coupling regimes. Conformal field theory finds applications across diverse fields, from statistical systems at criticality to quantum gravity through the AdS/CFT correspondence. These theories are subject to strong constraints, enabling a systematic non-perturbative analysis. Conformal defects provide a controlled means of breaking the symmetry, introducing new physical phenomena while preserving crucial benefits of the underlying conformal symmetry. Two distinct classes of models are studied. First, we focus on the supersymmetric Wilson line in N = 4 Super Yang???Mills, which serves as an ideal testing ground for the development of innovative techniques such as the analytic conformal bootstrap. The second class consists of magnetic lines in Yukawa models, which have fascinating applications in 3d condensed-matter systems. These systems have the potential to emulate phenomena observed in the Standard Model in a low-energy setting |

| Title | Properties of the Color-Magnitude Diagrams of Type Ia Supernovae |
| Author(s) | Aldoroty, Lauren |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XVIII, 86 p. 39 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents a novel analysis of a photometric observational feature of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), the most precise distance indicators available for cosmological studies. While SNe Ia are crucial for understanding modern cosmology, there are systematic uncertainties associated with them that prevent use to their full potential. It is therefore vital that sources of systematic error in SN Ia standardization are better understood. In this thesis, the author robustly connects the color-magnitude diagram to SN Ia spectra and their physics for the first time, and shows that for the SN sample in the dissertation, this feature is important to consider as a contributor to scatter in the Hubble residual. There is no prior work in the literature that examines this feature in such depth, and it is rare to be able to paint such a thorough picture in a SN Ia study rooted in a single photometric feature. This work opens up many avenues for future observational and theoretical studies |

| Title | The Quantization of Gravity |
| Author(s) | Gerhardt, Claus |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XII, 264 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | A unified quantum theory incorporating the four fundamental forces of nature is one of the major open problems in physics. The Standard Model combines electro-magnetism, the strong force and the weak force, but ignores gravity. The quantization of gravity is therefore a necessary first step to achieve a unified quantum theory. In this monograph a canonical quantization of gravity has been achieved by quantizing a geometric evolution equation resulting in a hyperbolic equation in a fiber bundle, where the base space represents a Cauchy hypersurface of the quantized spacetime and the fibers the Riemannian metrics in the base space. The hyperbolic operator, a second order partial differential operator, acts both in the fibers as well as in the base space. In this second edition new results are presented which allow the solutions of the hyperbolic equation to be expressed as products of spatial and temporal eigenfunctions of self-adjoint operators. These eigenfunctions form complete bases in appropriate Hilbert spaces. The eigenfunctions depending on the fiber elements are a subset of the Fourier kernel of the symmetric space SL(n,R)/SO(n), where n is the dimension of the base space; they represent the elementary gravitons corresponding to the degrees of freedom in choosing the entries of Riemannian metrics with determinants equal to one. These are all the degrees of freedom available because of the coordinate system invariance: For any smooth Riemannian metric there exists an atlas such that in each chart the determinant of the metric is equal to one. In the important case n=3 the Standard Model could also be incorporated such that one can speak of a unified quantization of all four fundamental forces of nature |

| Title | The Laws of Gravity and Electromagnetism : A Non-relativistic Model Invariant Under the Change of Inertial and Non-inertial Coordinate Systems |
| Author(s) | Poliakovsky, Arkady |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XV, 641 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this book the author derives, under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, general forms of the most common physical laws invariant under the changes of inertial or non-inertial coordinate systems, both in the Classical and the Quantum regime. Some important examples of such invariant Physical Laws are the Maxwell Equations, the Newtonian gravity as well as several more complicated models of gravity and many other Physical Laws including many Laws of Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics, Continuum Mechanics, Optics et. al. Moreover, several basic Laws of Relativistic Physics, both in the classical and Quantum levels can be still formulated invariant under the non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, like the Classical Relativistic Second Law of Newton and Quantum Dirac and Klein--Gordon equations for relativistic particles, including their interaction with the outer gravitational field. In particular, we introduce the Hamiltonian formulation of the Dirac equation, and moreover, we were able to formulate the Dirac equation for multiple particles, similarly to what was done for the Schroedinger equation of the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics. One of the goals of this work is the general self-contained and simple mathematical formulation of the most general Physical Laws in a manner understandable to the reader familiar only with basic calculus, Classical Mechanics and some basic elements of non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics |

| Title | Multifractal Theory of Motion : From Small to Large Scales |
| Author(s) | Agop, Maricel;Irimiciuc, Stefan Andrei |
| Publication | Singapore, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Singapore, 2024. |
| Description | VIII, 161 p. 38 illus., 35 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book aims to present the topic of nonlinear and chaotic dynamics in a manner that is useful and beneficial to students and young researchers from various domains such as physics, mathematics, biology, or even medicine. A very important aspect of that topic is that the constraints of determinism do not imply a regular behavior or do not rely on predictability in describing the dynamics of natural systems. Exploring the evolution of natural systems has a great impact nowadays on a wide range of scientific domains. The dynamics of populations, cardiac fibrillation, communication systems, fluid flow, and atmospheric systems are just a few topics in which nonlinearity and chaos are a regular manifestation. This leads to the idea that it is necessary to find universal laws that govern these dynamics. The aforementioned variety in scientific topics is also sustained by an exponential interest in recent decades from readers in the scientific community and the non-scientific one as well. The book is devoted to the nonlinear and chaotic dynamics topic, a domain that is both trans- and multi-disciplinary and has been the focus of the scientific community in past decades |

| Title | Cosmology for the Curious |
| Author(s) | Perlov, Delia;Vilenkin, Alex |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2024. |
| Description | XVII, 390 p. 208 illus., 64 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion ??? the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe. Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite? Has it existed forever? If not, when and how did it come into being? Will it ever end? The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty. This new edition includes hints for answering the questions and exercises, as well as extensions to the discussions on dark matter, quantum cosmology. A new chapter summarizing the standard cosmological model has also been added. |

| Title | Time and Timelessness in Fundamental Physics and Cosmology : Historical, Philosophical, and Mathematical Perspectives |
| Author(s) | De Bianchi, Silvia;Forgione, Marco;Marongiu, Laura |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
| Description | XXV, 292 p. 14 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a clear account of timelessness together with the discussion of temporality in fundamental physics and cosmology. The multi-disciplinary approach to the problem of time and timelessness shows the remarkable difference between pre-relativistic debates and current developments. This book thoroughly discusses notions of timelessness and time emerging in the most recent literature on Quantum Gravity, String Theory and Cosmology. The contributions explore, among many aspects, the historical-philosophical roots of the notions of temporality and atemporality, the role of mathematics in defining time and temporality with respect to both order relations and causality, approaches to quantum gravity and cosmology that make use of quantum fluids and condensate to approximate space???time in general relativity, time and timelessness in black holes and the problem of cosmological time in bouncing cosmologies. The novelty of this volume lies in the interaction among scientists, philosophers, and historians in exploring the nature of time and timelessness and the origin of these concepts. The book represents a valuable toolkit for researchers and graduate students in physics, cosmology, philosophy and the history of those fields |
