The Geroch-Held-Penrose Calculus
This book offers a primer on the fundamentals and applications of the Geroch-Held-Penrose (GHP) calculus, a powerful formalism designed for spacetimes that occur frequently in the …
Some Unusual Topics in Quantum Mechanics
In this book, the author addresses selected topics in quantum mechanics that are not usually covered in books, but which are very helpful in developing a student's interest in, and …
Renormalization Group and Fixed Points
This Brief presents an introduction to the theory of the renormalization group in the context of quantum field theories of relevance to particle physics. Emphasis is placed on …
Black Holes: Thermodynamics, Information, and Firewalls
This book reflects the resurgence of interest in the quantum properties of black holes, culminating most recently in controversial discussions about firewalls. On the thermodynamic …
Seven Fundamental Concepts in Spacetime Physics
The book presents seven fundamental concepts in spacetime physics mostly by following Hermann Minkowski’s revolutionary ideas summarized in his 1908 lecture "Space and Time." These …

Photo-Excited Charge Collection Spectroscopy
Solid state field-effect devices such as organic and inorganic-channel thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been expected to promote advances in display and sensor electronics. The …
Few Body Dynamics, Efimov Effect and Halo Nuclei
This book presents an overview of the different few-body techniques developed in nuclear physics and their applications to explore the structural properties of neutron-rich …
Quantum Physics, Fuzzy Sets and Logic
This Brief presents steps towards elaborating a new interpretation of quantum mechanics based on a specific version of Lukasiewicz infinite-valued logic. It begins with a short …
Lectures on the Mechanical Foundations of Thermodynamics
This book provides a modern pedagogical exposition of the mechanical approach to statistical mechanics initiated by Boltzmann with his early works (1866–1871). Despite the later …
The Dirac equation in curved spacetime
This book explains and develops the Dirac equation in the context of general relativistic quantum mechanics in a range of spacetime dimensions. It clarifies the subject by …
Quantum Black Holes
