{"product_id":"9789814630092","title":"Einstein's Apple: Homogeneous Einstein Fields: Homogeneous Einstein Fields","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe lift a veil of obscurity from a branch of mathematical physics in a straightforward manner that can be understood by motivated and prepared undergraduate students as well as graduate students specializing in relativity. Our book on \"Einstein Fields\" clarifies Einstein's very first principle of equivalence (1907) that is the basis of his theory of gravitation. This requires the exploration of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds, a program that was suggested by Elie Cartan in \"Riemannian Geometry in an Orthogonal Frame,\" a 2001 World Scientific publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEinstein's first principle of equivalence, the key to his General Relativity, interprets homogeneous fields of acceleration as gravitational fields. The general theory of these \"Einstein Fields\" is given for the first time in our monograph and has never been treated in such exhaustive detail. This study has yielded significant new insights to Einstein's theory. The volume is heavily illustrated and is accessible to well-prepared undergraduate and graduate students as well as the professional physics community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Happiest Thought of My Life\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccelerated Frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorsion and Telemotion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInertial and Gravitational Fields in Minkowski Spacetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Notion of Torsion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomogeneous Fields on Two-dimensional Riemannian Manifolds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomogeneous Vector Fields in N-dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomogeneous Fields on Three-dimensional Spacetimes: Elementary Cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProper Lorentz Transformations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimits of Spacetimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomogeneous Fields in Minkowski Spacetimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEuclidean Three-dimensional Spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomogeneous Fields in Arbitrary Dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Physics graduates, physicists, mathematicians, people interested in Einstein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to the use of mathematical torsion and teleparallelism for general relativity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElie Cartan's suggestions to an uncomprehending Einstein were initially overlooked but later used by him to explore possibilities for unified field theories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur presentation provides an introduction to torsion and its relation to gravitation considered too esoteric for most textbooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136966377712,"sku":"9789814630092","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814630092_p0.jpg?v=1763691313","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814630092","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
