Editorial overview Touché

Foundations of Quantum Gravity by James Lindesay, published by Cambridge University Press on May 16, 2013, is a comprehensive exploration of the integration of quantum coherence into Einstein’s theory of gravitation. This edition spans 416 pages and is presented in English. The book is designed for researchers interested in the foundational aspects of relativity and quantum physics, focusing on coherent gravitating systems and their connection to experimental observations.

Readers will find a detailed examination of various quantum systems and their effects on geometry, including discussions on non-singular black objects and dynamic de Sitter cosmology. The text employs extensive diagrams to clarify complex mathematical results, making the content accessible even to those who may not have a deep understanding of the underlying mathematics. Additionally, the book includes textboxes that provide supplementary information for those interested in the philosophical and foundational aspects of physics, bridging the gap between theory and practical understanding.


Official synopsis Publisher

Exploring how the subtleties of quantum coherence can be consistently incorporated into Einstein’s theory of gravitation, this book is ideal for researchers interested in the foundations of relativity and quantum physics. The book examines those properties of coherent gravitating systems that are most closely connected to experimental observations. Examples of consistent co-gravitating quantum systems whose overall effects upon the geometry are independent of the coherence state of each constituent are provided, and the properties of the trapping regions of non-singular black objects, black holes, and a dynamic de Sitter cosmology are discussed analytically, numerically, and diagrammatically. The extensive use of diagrams to summarise the results of the mathematics enables readers to bypass the need for a detailed understanding of the steps involved. Assuming some knowledge of quantum physics and relativity, the book provides textboxes featuring supplementary information for readers particularly interested in the philosophy and foundations of the physics.
