Produktbeschreibung zu Quantum Gravity

The search for a quantum theory of the gravitational field is one of the great open problems in theoretical physics. This book presents a self-contained discussion of the concepts, methods and applications that can be expected in such a theory, unifying quantum theory with Einstein's theory of general relativity.

This book maintains a high level of clarity throughout, and is written with admirable patience. It will be found very useful by a begining researcher in quantum gravity who wants to have a comprehensive overview of the subject. Equally well, senior researchers in the field will find it a handy reference for standard analyses of various aspects of the subject. Gen.Realtiv.Gravi. (2006) 38(1): 183-185
Claus Kiefer studierte Physik und Astronomie an den Universitäten Heidelberg und Wien. Er promovierte 1988 in Heidelberg über den Begriff der inneren Zeit in der kanonischen Quantentheorie der Gravitation, habilitierte sich 1995 und lehrte an den Universitäten Zürich und Freiburg. Längere Aufenthalte unter anderem an der University of Cambridge, der Université de Montpellier und dem Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. Seit 2001 ist er Professor für Theoretische Physik an der Universität zu Köln.
