| Title | Black holes in higher dimensions |
| Author(s) | Gary T. Horowitz (ed.) |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2012. |
| Description | xiii, 422p. |
| Abstract Note | Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein's general relativity. In recent years, ideas in brane-world cosmology, string theory and gauge/gravity duality have motivated studies of black holes in more than four dimensions, with surprising results. In higher dimensions, black holes exist with exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. Edited by leading expert Gary Horowitz, this exciting book is the first devoted to this new field. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made them: Rob Myers describes the MyersâPerry solutions that represent rotating black holes in higher dimensions; Ruth Gregory describes the GregoryâLaflamme instability of black strings; and Juan Maldacena introduces gauge/gravity duality, the remarkable correspondence that relates a gravitational theory to nongravitational physics. Accessible to anyone with a standard course in general relativity, this is an important resource for graduate students and researchers in general relativity, string theory and high energy physics. |

| Title | Gravity and Strings |
| Author(s) | Tomas Ortin |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2004. |
| Description | 684p. |
| Series | (Cambridge monographs on mathematical physics) |
| Abstract Note | One appealing feature of string theory is that it provides a theory of quantum gravity. Gravity and Strings is a self-contained, pedagogical exposition of this theory, its foundations and its basic results. In Part I, the foundations are traced back to the very early special-relativistic field theories of gravity, showing how such theories lead to general relativity. Gauge theories of gravity are then discussed and used to introduce supergravity theories. In Part II, some of the most interesting solutions of general relativity and its generalizations are studied. The final Part presents and studies string theory from the effective action point of view, using the results found earlier in the book as background. This book will be useful as a reference book for graduate students and researchers, as well as a complementary textbook for courses on gravity, supergravity and string theory. |
