商品描述

Top researchers in the field of gravitation present the state-of-the-art topics outlined in this book, ranging from the stability of rotating wormholes solutions supported by ghost scalar fields, modified gravity applied to wormholes, the study of novel semi-classical and nonlinear energy conditions, to the applications of quantum effects and the superluminal version of the warp drive in modified spacetime. Based on Einstein's field equations, this cutting-edge research area explores the more far-fetched theoretical outcomes of General Relativity and relates them to quantum field theory. This includes quantum energy inequalities, flux energy conditions, and wormhole curvature, and sheds light on not just the theoretical physics but also on the possible applications to warp drives and time travel.

This book extensively explores the physical properties and characteristics of these 'exotic spacetimes, ' describing in detail the general relativistic geometries that generate closed timelike curves.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

頂尖的引力研究者在本書中介紹了最先進的主題，涵蓋了由幽靈標量場支持的旋轉蟲洞解的穩定性、應用於蟲洞的修正重力、新型半經典和非線性能量條件的研究，以及量子效應和修正時空中超光速版本的 warp drive 的應用。基於愛因斯坦的場方程，這一前沿研究領域探索了廣義相對論的更為超前的理論結果，並將其與量子場論相關聯。這包括量子能量不等式、通量能量條件和蟲洞曲率，並不僅揭示了理論物理的內涵，還探討了對於 warp drives 和時間旅行的潛在應用。

本書廣泛探討了這些「異域時空」的物理性質和特徵，詳細描述了生成閉合時間類曲線的一般相對論幾何。

Dr. Francisco Lobo is presently a Principal Investigator at the Science Faculty of the University of Lisbon (FCUL), and Thematic Line Leader at the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IA). Dr. Lobo completed a PhD degree in Physics at FCUL, in July 2005, with summa cum laude, in the disciplinary field of General Relativity and Cosmology. Research-wise, he has been involved in many mainstream areas of great importance and topicality in modern physics. Several of his publications have received extensive news coverage in the following newspapers and journals: New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Scientific American, National Geographic and New Scientist. Dr. Lobo's impact factor, h, in the scientific community is presently 43. To the present date, he has 115 articles published in high-impact international research journals, 3 papers in press and another 7 under revision, with over 4700 citations (3 papers with 250+, 7 papers with 100+ and 30 with 50+ citations); 7 articles published as book sections; given over 50 presentations (including 3 plenary sessions and 11 invited talks) in international conferences, with the majority published in the proceedings. Dr. Lobo has also been successful in obtaining external funding, and has been involved in several ongoing and recent national/international projects, several of which as Principal Investigator.
