Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions
Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521545889 | edition 2003 | PDF | 292 pages | 12,5 mb
This timely volume provides a broad survey of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. It emphasizes the "quantum cosmology" of closed universes and the quantum mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole. It compares and contrasts a variety of approaches, and examines what they imply for a realistic theory of quantum gravity. General relativity in three spacetime dimensions has become a popular arena in which to explore the ramifications of quantum gravity. As a diffeomorphism (invariant theory of spacetime structure), this model shares many of the conceptual problems of realistic quantum gravity, but it is also simple enough that many programs of quantization can be carried out explicitly.
