Böcker i Fundamental Theories of Physics-serien

The original papers contained in this volume are useful as supplementary reading material for students in courses on group theory, relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, relativistic electrodynamics, general relativity, and elementary particle physics.

Dedicated to the centennial anniversary of Minkowski's discovery of spacetime, this volume contains papers, most presented at the Third International Conference on the Nature and Ontology of Spacetime, that address some of the deepest questions in physics.

Based on the authors' everyday research experiences in the field of high-energy heavy-ion collisions, this volume bundles temperature, heat, entropy and disorder into modern physics. The main focus is thermodynamics -- the very concept of temperature, its use, and extensions.

This book explains non-locality and its relationship to causality and probability in quantum theory. It displays foundational characteristics of quantum physics to understand conceptual origins of the unusual nature of quantum phenomena.

The articles included in this Volume represent a broad and highly qualified view on the present state of general relativity, quantum gravity, and their cosmological and astrophysical implications.
