Assuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity,
this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes,
wormholes, cosmology, and extra dimensions. Its first part is
devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and
wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of
alternative theories: scalar-tensor, f(R) and multidimensional
theories. The second part is on cosmology, including inflation and
a unified description of the whole evolution of the universe. The
third part concerns multidimensional theories of gravity and
contains a number of original results obtained by the authors.
Expository work is conducted for a mechanism of symmetries and
fundamental constants formation, while the original approach to
nonlinear multidimensional gravity that is able to construct a
unique perspective describing different phenomena is
highlighted.Much of the content is new in book publications,
because it was previously found only in journal publications, e.g.
regarding regular black holes, various scalar field solutions,
wormholes and their stability, and multidimensional gravity.
Assuming basic knowledge of special and general relativity, this
book guides the reader to problems under consideration in modern
research, concerning black holes, wormholes, cosmology, and extra
dimensions. Its first part is devoted to local strong field
configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity
and its most relevant extensions: scalar-tensor, f(R), and
multidimensional theories. The second part discusses cosmology,
including inflation and problems of a unified description of the
whole evolution of the universe. The third part concerns
multidimensional theories of gravity and contains a number of
original results obtained by the authors. Expository work is
conducted for a mechanism of symmetries and fundamental constants
formation. The original approach to nonlinear multidimensional
gravity that is able to construct a unique perspective describing
different phenomena is highlighted.Much of the content was
previously presented only in journal publications and is new for
book contents, e.g., on regular black holes, various scalar field
solutions, wormholes and their stability, inflation, clusters of
primordial black holes, and multidimensional gravity. The last two
topics are added in this new edition of the book. The other
chapters are also updated to include new discoveries like the
detection of gravitational waves.
