商品描述

Spacetime and Geometry is an introductory textbook on general relativity, specifically aimed at students. Using a lucid style, Carroll first covers the foundations of the theory and mathematical formalism, providing an approachable introduction to what can often be an intimidating subject. Three major applications of general relativity are then discussed: black holes, perturbation theory and gravitational waves, and cosmology. Students will learn the origin of how spacetime curves (the Einstein equation) and how matter moves through it (the geodesic equation). They will learn what black holes really are, how gravitational waves are generated and detected, and the modern view of the expansion of the universe. A brief introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime is also included. A student familiar with this book will be ready to tackle research-level problems in gravitational physics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《時空與幾何》是一本針對學生的廣義相對論入門教科書。Carroll 以清晰的風格首先介紹了理論和數學形式的基礎，為這個通常令人畏懼的主題提供了一個易於接近的入門。接著討論了廣義相對論的三個主要應用：黑洞、擾動理論和引力波，以及宇宙學。學生將學習時空如何彎曲的起源（愛因斯坦方程）以及物質如何在其中運動（測地線方程）。他們將了解黑洞的真實本質、引力波是如何產生和檢測的，以及對宇宙膨脹的現代理解。書中還包括了對曲時空中量子場論的簡要介紹。熟悉這本書的學生將能夠應對引力物理學中的研究級問題。

作者簡介

Sean Carroll is an assistant professor in the Physics Department, Enrico Fermi Institute, and Center for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago. His research ranges over a number of topics in theoretical physics, focusing on cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1993, and spent time as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT and the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has been awarded fellowships from the Sloan and Packard foundations, as well as the MIT Graduate Student Council Teaching Award.
