Time, Place

every Wednesday, 14 c.t., D6-135

Language

Probably english, depending on the audience.

Introduction to concepts of (large) additional dimensions of space and of their phenomenological consequences

Required knowledge

Lecture Notes

The lecture will in large parts follow the notes of a course that I have given at
Heidelberg University in 2006/07:
full notes (26 MB), or in smaller parts: part1, part2, part3, part4

Literature

Popular science book

• Lisa Randall, Warped Passages, Penguin Books
  (auch auf deutsch erhältlich:
  Verborgene Universen. Eine Reise in den extradimensionalen Raum, S. Fischer)

  Good popular science writing, recommended also for physicists.
