This book brings together recent advances in tensor analysis and studies of its invariants such as twistors, spinors, kinematic tensors and others belonging to tensor algebras with extended structures to Lie algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, and enveloping algebras, among others. Chapters cover such topics as classical tensors and bilinear forms, tensors for exploring space-time, tensor applications in geometry and continuum media, and advanced topics in tensor analysis such as invariant theory, derived categories, hypercohomologies, k-modules, extensions of kinematic tensors, infinite dimensional operators, and more.

Minagi a l'étoffe d'un héros : quand l'inquiétant proviseur de son lycée a menacé de faire étudier les élèves pendant tout l'été, il s'est fait leur champion dans un pari à haut risque. Mais comment fera-t-il pour rédiger un exposé sur la relativité ? Il n'y connaît rien ! Mlle Uraga, professeur de physique à la personnalité complexe, se porte volontaire pour enseigner à Minagi les idées clefs de la relativité. Sa pédagogie repose sur des expériences de pensée pétries d'humour et de références historiques. Par une méthode visuelle appuyée sur de très nombreux exemples, Minagi va apprendre : pourquoi la mécanique newtonienne ne suffit pas ; pourquoi la vitesse dilate le temps, contracte les longueurs et augmente la masse ; comment expliquer le paradoxe des jumeaux ; ce que signifie l'équation E = mc2 ; pourquoi la gravité courbe l'espace-temps et dévie la lumière ; ce qu'est réellement la gravité ; d'où vient l'univers. Avec cet ouvrage mêlant cours et BD, découvrez ou révisez la théorie de la relativité en passant un bon moment !

Albert Einstein is often viewed as the icon of genius, and his theories are admired for their beauty and correctness. Yet the final judge of any theory is the rigorous test of experiment, not the fame of its inventor or the allure of its mathematics. For decades, general relativity has passed test after test with flying colors, including some remarkable new tests using the recently detected gravitational waves.Still, there are reasons for doubt. Einstein's theory of gravity, as beautiful as it is, seems to be in direct contradiction with another theory he helped create: quantum mechanics. Until recently, this was considered to be a purely academic affair. But as more and more data pour in from the most distant corners of the universe, hinting at bizarre stuff called "dark energy" and "dark matter," some scientists have begun to explore the possibility that Einstein's theory may not provide a complete picture of the cosmos.This book chronicles the latest adventures of scientists as they put Einstein's theory to the test in ever more precise and astonishing ways, and in ever more extreme situations, when gravity is unfathomably intense and rapidly churning. From the explosions of neutron stars and the collisions of black holes to the modern scientific process as a means to seek truth and understanding in the cosmos, this book takes the reader on a journey of learning and discovery that has been 100 years in the making.
