Author: Albert Petrov Full Title: Introduction To Modified Gravity Publisher: Springer; 1st ed. 2020 Edition (July 28, 2020) Year: 2020 ISBN-13: 9783030528621 (978-3-030-52862-1), 9783030528614 (978-3-030-52861-4) ISBN-10: 3030528626, 3030528618 Pages: 72 Language: English Genre: Physics: Theoretical, Mathematical & Computational Physics File type: EPUB (True), PDF (True) Quality: 10/10 Price: 51.99 € This book reviews various modified gravity models, including those with modifications in the pure gravitational sector; those involving extra fields, that is, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor gravity theories; gravity models with Lorentz symmetry breaking; and nonlocal gravity models. The authors discuss both classical and quantum aspects of these theories. The book is unique in bringing together all the current alternatives to Einstein gravity in one source and serves as an excellent starting point for graduate students and other newcomers seeking an overview. ------------- Our members see more.
