Titre(s) : Einstein's field equations and their physical implications [Texte électronique] : selected essays in honour of Jürgen Ehlers / Bernd G. Schmidt (ed.)
Publication : Berlin ; New York : Springer, 2000
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xiii, 433 pages)
Collection : Lecture notes in physics ; 540
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
This book serves two purposes. The authors present important aspects of modern research
on the mathematical structure of Einstein's field equations and they show how to extract
their physical content from them by mathematically exact methods. The essays are devoted
to exact solutions and to the Cauchy problem of the field equations as well as to
post-Newtonian approximations that have direct physical implications. Further topics
concern quantum gravity and optics in gravitational fields. The book addresses researchers
in relativity and differential geometry but can also be used as additional reading
material for graduate students
