商品描述

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation moved into the limelight in recent years due to developments in string theory, M-theory and "brane world" constructions. This book introduces the subject at a level suitable for both graduate students and researchers. It explores scalar fields, placing them in context with a discussion of Brans-Dicke theory, covering the cosmological constant problem, higher dimensional space-time, branes and conformal transformations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

標量-張量引力理論近年來因為弦理論、M-理論和「膜世界」構造的發展而受到關注。本書以適合研究生和研究人員的水平介紹這一主題。它探討了標量場,並將其置於Brans-Dicke理論的背景下,涵蓋了宇宙常數問題、高維時空、膜和共形變換的討論。
