{"product_id":"brane-worlds-alberto-salvio-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Salvio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927763118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927763117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minkowski Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Alberto Salvio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074204299519,"sku":"9781927763117","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_372bcfd5-e2c9-4bf5-be92-da6885ceabfa.jpg?v=1685452391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/brane-worlds-alberto-salvio-9781927763117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
