General Relativity - Proceedings of Forty Sixth Scottish Universities Summer School in

Informationen zum Autor G.S Hall Klappentext General Relativity provides an unusually broad survey of the current state of this field. Chapters on mathematical relativity cover many topics, including initial value problems, a new approach to the partial differential equations of physics, and work on exact solutions. The chapters on relativistic cosmology and black holes explore cosmology. Other chapters deal with gravitational waves, experimental relativity, quantum gravity, and aspects of computing in relativity. The book will be useful both to postgraduates and to established workers in the field. Zusammenfassung Contains chapters on mathematical relativity that cover many topics, including initial value problems, a fresh approach to the partial differential equations of physics, and work on exact solutions.
