Introduction to Modified Gravity
This book reviews various modified gravity models, including those with modifications in the pure gravitational sector; those involving extra fields, that is, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor gravity theories; gravity models with Lorentz symmetry breaking; and nonlocal gravity models. The authors discuss both classical and quantum aspects of these theories. The book is unique in bringing together all the current alternatives to Einstein gravity in one source and serves as an excellent starting point for graduate students and other newcomers seeking an overview. This second edition has been expanded with new results from a variety of approaches including f(R,Q,P) gravity, galileon gravity and massive gravity. Extended discussions of Lorentz-breaking terms and of non-local field theory have been added and a completely new chapter is devoted to models based on non-Riemannian geometry.
Thermal aspects of field theories
This book focus on examining the thermodynamic properties of various prominent field theories concerning high-energy and condensed matter physics. We make the usage of the theory of ensembles to perform our analysis. At the beginning, we supply the thermodynamic properties based on the formalism of canonical ensemble to the Aharonov-Bohm quantum ring considering both scenarios: the relativistic and the non-relativistic cases. Next, we construct a model in order to study quantum gases. In this context, we examine bosons, fermions and spinless particles within the grand-canonical ensemble taking into account two different approaches: interacting and noninteracting particles. To corroborate our...

Reparação de Danos na Responsabilidade por Ruptura Injustificada das Tratativas - 1a Ed - 2024
A obra se propõe a analisar a reparação de danos na responsabilidade pela ruptura injustificada das tratativas e, em especial, se se afigura possível, à luz do Direito brasileiro, a indenização da vítima pelo interesse positivo em certas hipóteses. O desenvolvimento dogmático da culpa in contrahendo tem origem nos estudos de Rudolf von Jhering, que aventou a tutela do lesado pela atuação culposa da contraparte na formação do contrato. Hodiernamente, com o reconhecimento da obrigação como processo e diante da relevância assumida pelo princípio da boa-fé objetiva, a responsabilidade pré-contratual recebeu novos contornos, assumindo protagonismo a necessidade de amparo contr...
Slave Emancipation and Transformations in Brazilian Political Citizenship
Celso Thomas Castilho offers original perspectives on the political upheaval surrounding the process of slave emancipation in postcolonial Brazil. He shows how the abolition debates in Pernambuco transformed the practices of political citizenship and marked the first instance of a mass national political mobilization. In addition, he presents new findings on the scope and scale of the opposing abolitionist and sugar planters' mobilizations in the Brazilian northeast. The book highlights the extensive interactions between enslaved and free people in the construction of abolitionism, and reveals how Brazil's first social movement reinvented discourses about race and nation, leading to the pass...
