Description

This text presents the proceedings from the Pacific conference, concerning gravitation and cosmology. Topics include: quantum mechanics of Riemannian geometry; the statistical mechanics of horizons and black hole thermodynamics; and unified cosmology and dilatonic dark matter.

Table of Contents

  • Quantum mechanics of Riemannian geometry
