Black Holes: Thermodynamics, Information, and Firewalls
This book reflects the resurgence of interest in the quantum properties of black holes, culminating most recently in controversial discussions about firewalls. On the thermodynamic side, it describes how new developments allowed the inclusion of pressure/volume terms in the first law, leading to a new understanding of black holes as chemical systems, experiencing novel phenomena such as triple …

Birational Geometry of Foliations
The text presents the birational classification of holomorphic foliations of surfaces. It discusses at length the theory developed by L.G. Mendes, M. McQuillan and the author to study foliations of surfaces in the spirit of the classification of complex algebraic surfaces.

Variational Principles in Classical Mechanics
The goal of this book is to introduce the reader to the intellectual beauty, and philosophical implications, of the fact that nature obeys variational principles that underlie the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian analytical formulations of classical mechanics. These variational methods, which were developed for classical mechanics during the 18 th − 19 th century, have become the preeminent form…

Recent Developments in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Shell Theory: Applications o…
These two-partition books present essential approaches to numerical-analytical solutions of problems in the mechanics of shells with various structures and shapes based on refined and spatial models. Further, it examines the mechanical behavior of shallow, circular and noncircular, conical, spherical, and functionally graded shells obtained by the refined model. The book investigates the st…

Recent Developments in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Shell Theory
This brief book presents solutions of stress-strain problems for a wide class of anisotropic inhomogeneous shells obtained by the refined model. Studying these problems results in severe computational difficulties due to partial differential equations with variable coefficients resulting from the constitutive relations of the original model. To solve this problem the book uses spline-collocatio…
