Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume comprises the contributions to the proceedings of Deserfest — a festschrift in honor of Stanley Deser. Many of Stanley Deser's colleagues and longtime collaborators, including Richard Arnowitt and Charles Misner of “ADM” fame, contribute insighted article. Ranging from lower dimensional gravity theories all the way to supergravity in eleven dimensions and M-theory, the papers highlight the wide impact that Deser has had in the field.
