- Full title :Quantum cosmology : the supersymmetric perspective. / Paulo Vargas Moniz.
Summary
The two volumes that comprise Quantum Cosmology tackle quantum description of the early universe from the perspective of supersymmetirc models of elementary particle physics.
The first volume is an accessible primer that covers the basics of the field, critically discussing ideas and concepts that comprise our current knowledge of supersymmetry and supergravity. After reviewing the fundamentals, it provides a thorough analysis of a first set of quantum cosmological models. The second volume is dedicated to more advanced topics. In it, the scope for analyzing quantum cosmological models, within a supersymmetric frame-work is broadened.
As much as possible, these two volumes treat what we know, what we think we know and what we think we do not know on an equal footing. Complete with problems and solutions for each chapter, the books are ideal for young, inquisitive minds eager to embark on in-depth research in this field. They provide readers with the tools they need to go on their own, pushing them to ask the right questions rather than seek definitive answers. --Book Jacket.
