The primary goal of this book is to allow students to understand in a critical way two pillars of modern theoretical physics: inflationary theory, and quantum black holes and the information-loss problem. Accordingly, the book extensively introduces black holes and cosmology before proceeding to the important issues found in inflation and the information-loss problem. Other important topics discussed in detail include the cosmological constant and its relation to dark energy and an introduction to quantum field theory on curved backgrounds.
In this updated and extended edition in addition to including new exercises and developments in the field, the author extends the coverage by including new chapters on loop quantum gravity, the impact of anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence and quantum entanglement on the origins of space time and the black-hole information problem, and quantum gravity in the context of matrix quantum mechanics. Including numerous exercises, the material provides a single rigorous text for advanced students in theoretical physics and mathematics requiring an introduction to the implications and interpretation of general relativity in areas of cosmology. Readers of this text will be well prepared to follow the theoretical developments in the field and undertake research projects as part of an MSc or PhD programme.
Badis Ydri is a professor of theoretical physics at the Institute of Physics, Annaba University, Algeria. He earned his PhD from Syracuse University, New York, USA, in 2001. He is also a research associate at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His postdoctoral work includes a Marie Curie fellowship at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, and a Hamilton fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His general areas of expertise encompasses quantum field theory, general relativity, string theory, and philosophy of physics. His ongoing research explores: 1) matrix quantum mechanics approaches to quantum black holes and quantum gravity, 2) gauge/gravity duality and M-theory, 3) noncommutative geometry and matrix models, 4) renormalization group equation and Monte Carlo methods, 5) artificial intelligence in computational physics, 6) quantum philosophy, and 7) hard physical philosophy of consciousness and existence. He is the author of seven books in theoretical physics.
