  • Exact Space-Time Models of Gravitational Waves

    by Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book is about exact space-time models of the gravitational fields produced by gravitational radiation. The authors’ extensive work in the field is reviewed in order to stimulate the study of such models, that have been known for a long time, and to highlight interesting physical aspects of the existing models in some novel detail. There is an underlying simplicity to the gravitational ... Read more

  • Frontiers in General Relativity

    by Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book discusses some of the open questions addressed by researchers in general relativity. Photons and particles play important roles in the theoretical framework, since they are involved in analyzing and measuring gravitational fields and in constructing mathematical models of gravitational fields of various types. The authors highlight this aspect covering topics such as the construction of ... Read more

  • Relativistic Geodesy

    Foundations and Applications

    Edited by Dirk Puetzfeld, Claus Lämmerzahl ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Due to steadily improving experimental accuracy, relativistic concepts – based on Einstein’s theory of Special and General Relativity – are playing an increasingly important role in modern geodesy. This book offers an introduction to the emerging field of relativistic geodesy, and covers topics ranging from the description of clocks and test bodies, to time and frequency measurements, to current ...

  • Equations of Motion in Relativistic Gravity

    Edited by Dirk Puetzfeld, Claus Lämmerzahl, Bernard Schutz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The present volume aims to be a comprehensive survey on the derivation of the equations of motion, both in General Relativity as well as in alternative gravity theories. The topics covered range from the description of test bodies, to self-gravitating (heavy) bodies, to current and future observations.Emphasis is put on the coverage of various approximation methods (e.g., multipolar, post ...

  • Quantum Gravity

    by Carlo Rovelli ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
    Quantum gravity is perhaps the most important open problem in fundamental physics. It is the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and spinfoam approach, presented in this 2004 book, is one of the leading research programs in the field. The first part of the book discusses the ... Read more

  • The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time

    by S. W. Hawking, G. F. R. Ellis ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
    Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known ... Read more

  • The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

    by Gerard 't Hooft ...
    Series Book 185 - Fundamental Theories of Physics
    This book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft.Dissatisfied with the uncomfortable gaps in the way conventional quantum mechanics meshes with the classical world, 't Hooft has revived the old hidden variable ideas, but now in a much more systematic way than usual. In this, quantum mechanics is viewed as a tool rather than a theory.The ... Read more

  • Hawking on the Big Bang and Black Holes

    by Stephen Hawking ...
    Series Book 8 - Advanced Series in Astrophysics and Cosmology
    Stephen Hawking, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, has made important theoretical contributions to gravitational theory and has played a major role in the development of cosmology and black hole physics.Hawking's early work, partly in collaboration with Roger Penrose, showed the significance of spacetime singularities for the big bang and black holes. His later work ... Read more
