Structures in the Universe By Exact Methods - Formation, Evolution, Interactions

Informationen zum Autor Krzysztof Bolejko is an Assistant Professor at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland. His area of research is cosmology, in particular applications of inhomogeneous cosmological models, study of light propagation, backreaction effects, and faster than light mechanisms. Klappentext Reviews developments in applications of inhomogeneous models to cosmology, for graduate students and academic researchers in astrophysics. Zusammenfassung Inhomogeneous models are becoming an essential tool in analyzing and understanding the structures in our Universe. This book reviews important developments in the application of inhomogeneous solutions of Einstein's field equations to cosmology. The text is of great value to astrophysicists working in cosmology! from graduate students to academic researchers. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. The purpose of this book; Part I. Theoretical Background: 2.
