{"product_id":"gravity-and-strings","title":"Gravity And Strings","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne appealing feature of string theory is that it provides a theory of\u003cbr\u003equantum gravity. Gravity and Strings is a self-contained, pedagogical\u003cbr\u003eexposition of this theory, its foundations and its basic results. In Part\u003cbr\u003eI, the foundations are traced back to the very early special-relativistic\u003cbr\u003efield theories of gravity, showing how such theories lead to general\u003cbr\u003erelativity. Gauge theories of gravity are then discussed and used to\u003cbr\u003eintroduce supergravity theories. In Part II, some of the most interesting\u003cbr\u003esolutions of general relativity and its generalizations are studied. The\u003cbr\u003efinal Part presents and studies string theory from the effective action\u003cbr\u003epoint of view, using the results found earlier in the book as background.\u003cbr\u003eThis 2004 book will be useful as a reference book for graduate students and\u003cbr\u003eresearchers, as well as a complementary textbook for courses on gravity,\u003cbr\u003esupergravity and string theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Tomás Ortín\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2004\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":45660164227353,"sku":"QC178","price":9.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":45660164260121,"sku":"QC178","price":7.92,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":45660164292889,"sku":"QC178","price":6.34,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":45660164325657,"sku":"QC178","price":5.07,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/content_d0c7ac2b-2af8-48ae-9d66-b1dc4a655825.jpg?v=1717719724","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/gravity-and-strings","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
