Introduction to General Relativity, Black Holes and Cosmology

By: Choquet-Bruhat, YvonneContributor(s): Damour, ThibaultLanguage: English Publication details: UK Oxford University Press 2015Description: xx, 279pISBN: 9780199666461 (PB)Subject(s): Cosmology | General relativity | Gravitational waves | Neutron stars | Physics
Contents:
1. Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry 2. Special relativity 3. General Relativity 4. The Einstein equations 5. The Schwarzschild spacetime 6. Black holes 7. Introduction to cosmology 8. General Einsteinian spacetimes. The Cauchy problem 9. Relativistic fluids 10. Relativistic kinetic theory
Summary: General Relativity is a beautiful geometric theory, simple in its mathematical formulation but leading to numerous consequences with striking physical interpretations: gravitational waves, black holes, cosmological models, and so on. This introductory textbook is written for mathematics students interested in physics and physics students interested in exact mathematical formulations (or for anyone with a scientific mind who is curious to know more of the world we live in), recent remarkable experimental and observational results which confirm the theory are clearly described and no specialised
