{"product_id":"9781927763117","title":"Brane Worlds: Theories with One or Two Extra Dimensions","description":"This book is roughly divided in three parts. The first one is a general introduction to theories with extra dimensions and, more specifically, to brane worlds. Both old-fashioned topics (such as Kaluza-Klein theories) and more modern aspects (e.g. Large Extra Dimensions and Randall-Sundrum models) are discussed. The second and third parts (which we refer to as Part I and II respectively) are essentially two monographs. There, the reader is guided through the construction of the 4D effective field theory derived from higher dimensional (in particular five-dimensional and six-dimensional) models. Part I is devoted to the study of how the heavy Kaluza-Klein modes contribute to the low energy dynamics of the light modes. Part II concerns instead the analysis of the spectrum arising from non-standard compactifications of six-dimensional (supersymmetric) theories, involving a warp factor and conical defects in the internal manifold. Several applications of the above mentioned topics are discussed, providing an up to date overview of these subjects.","brand":"Minkowski Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063340024048,"sku":"9781927763117","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781927763117_p0.jpg?v=1763638678","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781927763117","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
