Black Holes in Higher Di. .has been added to your Cart. Gary Horowitz is a professor of physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has made numerous contributions to classical and quantum gravity.
Black Holes in Higher Di. In particular, he (co-)discovered a class of higher dimensional black holes called �lack branes'. Professor Horowitz is a member of the National Academy of Science, a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the International Committee for the General Relativity and Gravitation Society.

In higher dimensions, black holes exist with exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made them: Rob Myers describes the Myers-Perry solutions that represent rotating black holes in higher dimensions; Ruth Gregory describes the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings; and Juan Maldacena introduces gauge/gravity duality, the remarkable correspondence that relates a gravitational theory to nongravitational physics.
Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein's general relativity
Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein's general relativity. In recent years, ideas in brane-world cosmology, string theory and gauge/gravity duality have motivated studies of black holes in more than four dimensions, with surprising results. In higher dimensions, black holes exist with exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made them: Rob Myers describes the Myers-Perry solutions that represent.
Black holes, hidden symmetries, and complete integrability.
