Beschreibung
This thesis explores the connection between gravity and thermodynamics and provides a unification scheme that opens up new directions of exploration. Further elaborating on the Hawking effect and the possibility of singularity avoidance, the author not only discusses the information loss paradox at a broader level but also provides a possible solution to it. As the final frontier, it describes some novel effects arising from the microscopic structure of spacetime.
Taken as a whole, the thesis addresses three major research areas in gravitational physics: it starts with classical gravity, proceeds to the black hole information loss paradox, and closes with Planck scale physics. The thesis is written in a lucid and pedagogical style, with an introduction accessible to researchers from other branches of physics and a discuss
ion presenting open questions and future directions, which will benefit and hopefully inspire next-generation researchers.Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), India
Combines three distinct research areas under one roof
Gives a feel for classical gravity, semi-classical gravity, and the microscopic structure of spacetimeIs based on cutting-edge research in theoretical gravitational physics
Introduces the reader to current trends in theoretical gravitational physics, as well as future prospects
