Overview
- Informal and self-contained style, with all required notions and techniques recalled and/or introduced
- All computations explicitly carried out in the main text, leaving no “voids”
- Presentation of the most formal steps as solved exercises at the end of each chapter
- Coverage of frequently neglected topics crucial to modern theories of fundamental interactions
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Theory of Gravitational Interactions willbe of particular value to undergraduate students pursuing a theoretical or astroparticle curriculum. It can also be used by those teaching related subjects, by PhD students and young researchers working in different scientific sectors but wishing to enlarge their spectrum of interests, and, in general, by all scholars interested in the modern aspects and problems of gravitational interaction.

About the author
Maurizio Gasperini has already published 6 books with us. He is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Physics Department of the University of Bari, Italy. He is the author of more than 200 publications on gravitational theory, high-energy physics, and cosmology, and has twice won an "Award for Essays on Gravitation" from the Gravity Research Foundation (1996 and 1998). His former posts include a permanent position in the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Turin, and three appointments as Scientific Associate at CERN, Theory Division (1993, 1996 and 2005). Here, in collaboration with Gabriele Veneziano, he formulated and developed an early-cosmology scenario based on the symmetries of string theory.
