Modified and Quantum Gravity : From Theory to Experimental Searches on All Scales, Paperback / softback Book

Modified and Quantum Gravity : From Theory to Experimental Searches on All Scales Paperback / softback

Edited by Christian Pfeifer, Claus Lammerzahl

Part of the Lecture Notes in Physics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book discusses theoretical predictions and their comparison with experiments of extended and modified classical and quantum theories of gravity.

The goal is to provide a readable access and broad overview over different approaches to the topic to graduate and PhD students as well as to young researchers.

The book presents both, theoretical and experimental insights and is structured in three parts.

The first addresses the theoretical models beyond special and general relativity such as string theory, Poincare gauge theory and teleparallelism as well as Finsler gravity.

In turn, the second part is focused on the observational effects that these models generate, accounting for tests and comparisons which can be made on all possible scales: from the universe as a whole via binary systems, stars, black holes, satellite experiments, down to laboratory experiments at micrometer and smaller scales.

The last part of this book is dedicated to quantum systems and gravity, showing tests of classical gravity with quantum systems, and coupling of quantum matter and gravity.
