内容説明

The aim of this two-volume title is to give a comprehensive review of one hundred years of development of general relativity and its scientific influences. This unique title provides a broad introduction and review to the fascinating and profound subject of general relativity, its historical development, its important theoretical consequences, gravitational wave detection and applications to astrophysics and cosmology. The series focuses on five aspects of the theory: The first three topics are covered in Volume 1 and the remaining two are covered in Volume 2. While this is a two-volume title, it is designed so that each volume can be a standalone reference volume for the related topic.

目次

  • Volume 1: Genesis, Solutions and Energy: The Genesis of the Restricted Relativity (Valerie Messager & Christophe Letellier)
  • Genesis of General Relativity: A Concise Exposition (Wei-Tou Ni)
  • Schwarzschild and Kerr Solutions of Einstein's Field Equation: An Introduction (Christian Heinicke & Friederich W Hehl)
  • Gravitational Energy: A Covariant Hamiltonian-Gauge Theory Perspective (Jiang-Mei Chen, James Nester & Roh-Suan Tung)
  • Empirical Foundations: Equivalence Principles, Spacetime Structure and the Cosmic Connection (Wei-Tou Ni)
  • Cosmic Polarization Rotation: An Astrophysical Test of Fundamental Physics (Sperello di Serego Alighieri)
  • Clock Comparison Based on Laser Ranging Technologies (Etienne Samain)
  • Solar-System Tests of Relativistic Gravity (Wei-Tou Ni)
  • Pulsars and Gravity (R N Manchester)
  • Gravitational Waves: GW: Classification, Sources and Methods of Detection (K Kuroda, & W-T Ni)
