Relativistic Gravity, Cosmology and Physics of Compact Stars

Dear Colleagues,

The proposed Special Issue will cover actively pursued subjects of modern relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. It will include articles touching on the most diverse aspects of the field, such as modern problems in Einstein’s classical theory of gravity and its alternatives, string theory-motivated cosmological models, quantum field theory in a curved background, quantum effects in cosmological models with nontrivial topology, quantum effects in a braneworld scenario, the properties of superdense matter and the relativistic structure of compact stellar objects, the vast diversity of the manifestations of compact stars, including the modern aspects of the equation of state of superdense matter, its magnetic and thermal properties, rotational dynamics, superfluidity and superconductivity, and phase transition from hadronic to quark matter.

Prof. Dr. Aram Saharian
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
