Book Description
Assuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity, this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes, wormholes and cosmology. Half of it is devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of alternative theories: scalar – tensor, f[registered] and multidimensional theories. The remaining half is on cosmology, including inflation and a unified description of the whole evolution of the universe. Much of the content is new in book publications, because it was previously found only in journal publications, e.g. regarding regular black holes, various scalar field solutions, wormholes and their stability. The original approach to nonlinear multidimensional gravity that is able to construct a unique perspective describing different phenomena is highlighted. Expository work is conducted for mechanism of symmetries and fundamental constants formation.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The book concentrates on the issues which the authors have found especially interesting and that have figured in their own research, carried out over the 30 years or so. In other words, it is written from a distinct perspective. For anyone wishing to push these ideas forward and in particular for graduate students, having completed courses on standard material and looking out for possible research topics or just seeking an overview for directions going beyond the conventional, this book can be recommended. —Contemporary Physics
