Free Download Cosmology, Quantum Vacuum and Zeta Functions: In Honor of Emilio Elizalde by Sergey D. Odintsov, Diego Sáez-Gómez, Sebastian Xambó-Descamps
English | PDF (True) | 2011 | 379 Pages | ISBN : 3642197590 | 7.95 MB
Some major developments of physics in the last three decades are addressed by highly qualified specialists in different specific fields. They include renormalization problems in QFT, vacuum energy fluctuations and the Casimir effect in different configurations, and a wealth of applications. A number of closely related issues are also considered. The cosmological applications of these theories play a crucial role and are at the very heart of the book; in particular, the possibility to explain in a unified way the whole history of the evolution of the Universe: from primordial inflation to the present day accelerated expansion. Further, a description of the mathematical background underlying many of the physical theories considered above is provided. This includes the uses of zeta functions in physics, as in the regularization problems in QFT already mentioned, specifically in curved space-time, and in Casimir problems as.

Free Download Cosmology, Physics, and Philosophy: Including a New Theory of Aesthetics by Benjamin Gal-Or
English | PDF | 1987 | 556 Pages | ISBN : 1461596637 | 59.3 MB
What is unorthodox in this book? Much has happened in the last few years, especially in terms of the somewhat surpris ing rate at which the theories presented herein have been gaining increasing acceptance and support even by the most skeptical professionals. Nevertheless, the purpose of this up-dated Preface is not to tell the biographical and acceptance story behind this book, but to bring together some non-physical and non technical conclusions for those readers who find the physico-mathematical sections of this book too difficult to follow. A secondary purpose is to present here some newer conclu sions, especially in general philosophy and in aesthetics. Yet, the main physico philosophical conclusions presented in this book are not to be summarized here. For that purpose one must tum to the text itself. * * * The theories presented here have been developed in total isolation.

Free Download Contesting Malaysia's Integration into the World Economy By Rajah Rasiah (editor), Azirah Hashim (editor), Jatswan S. Sidhu (editor)
2021 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 9811606498 | PDF | 6 MB
This book brings together a set of incisive essays that interrogate Malaysian history and social relations which began during pre-colonial times, and extended to colonial and post-colonial Malaysia. It addresses economic misinterpretations of the role of markets in the way colonial industrialisation evolved, the nature of exploitation of workers, and the participation of local actors in shaping a wide range of socioeconomic and political processes.In doing so, it takes the lead from the innovative historian, Shaharil Talib Robert who argued that the recrafting of history should go beyond the use of conventional methodologies and analytic techniques. It is in that tradition that the chapters offer a semblance of causality, contingency, contradictions, and connections. With that, the analysis in each chapter utilises approaches appropriate for the topics chosen, which include history, anthropology, sociology, economics, politics, and international relations. The collection of chapters also offer novel interpretations to contest and fill gaps that have not been addressed in past works. The book is essential reading for history students, and those interested in Malaysian history in particular.

Free Download Contested Ecologies: Reimagining the Nature-Culture Divide in the Global South By Lesley Green (editor)
2013 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 0796924287 | PDF | 5 MB
Contested Ecologies: Reimagining the Nature-Culture Divide in the Global South offers an intervention in the conversations on ecology and on coloniality, and on the ways in which modern thinking, with its bifurcation of nature and culture, constitutes 'ecology' within a very particular politics of the cosmos. The chapters in this collection contest the framework of knowledge that has deadlocked nature and culture, tradition and modernity, scientific and indigenous and in doing so makes a case for the value of rethinking knowledge beyond the nature-culture divide.

Free Download Conjectures in Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry: A Survey by Wilfred W. J. Hulsbergen
English | PDF | 1992 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 3528064331 | 11.1 MB
In this expository paper we sketch some interrelations between several famous conjectures in number theory and algebraic geometry that have intrigued mathematicians for a long period of time. Starting from Fermat's Last Theorem one is naturally led to intro- duce L-functions, the main motivation being the calculation of class numbers. In particular, Kummer showed that the class numbers of cyclotomic fields playa decisive role in the corroboration of Fermat's Last Theorem for a large class of exponents. Before Kummer, Dirich- let had already successfully applied his L-functions to the proof of the theorem on arithmetic progressions.
