Canonical Gravity and Applications

Canonical tools are a robust mathematical device in the box of gravitational learn, either theoretical and experimental, and feature contributed to a few contemporary advancements in physics. supplying mathematical foundations in addition to actual purposes, this is often the 1st systematic rationalization of canonical equipment in gravity.

Gravitation and Astrophysics

The foreign convention on Gravitation and Astrophysics(ICGA) is to serve the wishes of study staff in gravitation and astrophysics within the Asia-Pacific area. This complaints covers a large and sizzling sector of analysis, together with cosmological version, gravitational lensing, precision dimension of G, CMB, Kerr space-time, gravitational wave, the LISA, LIGO, LCGT initiatives in Japan, black gap, darkish topic, Yang turbines gravity, neutron famous person, kind los angeles supernovae, quasi-local strength, anti-de Sitter space-time.

Dynamics and thermodynamics of systems with long-range interactions

Homes of structures with lengthy variety interactions are nonetheless poorly understood regardless of being of significance in so much parts of physics. the current quantity introduces and experiences the trouble of creating a coherent thermodynamic remedy of such structures by way of combining instruments from statistical mechanics with techniques and strategies from dynamical platforms.

It is the principal method in a number of specific geological studies, as for example in mapping near-surface voids, quantitative studies of metallic ore bodies, characterizing salt structures, and monitoring changes of fluid/gas content in volcanoes, but the method seldom provides a comprehensive answer on its own. The gravity method has also been used in regional characterization of the Earth for determining the architecture of the crust, identifying potentially favorable regions for resource exploration, and developing conceptual exploration models.
