Autorenporträt

Eckehard Mielke has been Professor in the Department of Physics, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, Mexico since 1997.  His work has covered the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, knot theory and wormholes, conformal changes of metrics, Poincaré gauge theory and its metric-affine generalizations, double dual solutions, topological models of gravity with Chern-Simons terms, Ashtekar variables, boson stars, dark matter, and inflationary cosmology. He is the author of the Springer book "Sonne, Mond und .... Schwarze Locher" (1997) (Sun, Moon and...Black Holes), a popular book offering a short trip through recent developments in astronomy.
