Exact Space-Times in Einstein’s General Relativity
by Jerry B. Griffiths , Jiří Podolský
Einstein’s theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learned about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealized examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein’s equations with a particular emphasis on what they mean, both geometrically and physically.
New concepts, such as big bang and big crunch-types of singularities, different kinds of horizons and gravitational waves, are described in the context of the particular space-times in which they naturally arise. These notions are initially introduced using the most simple and symmetric cases. Various important coordinate forms of each solution are presented, thus enabling the global structure of the corresponding space-time and its other properties to be analyzed. The book is an invaluable resource both for graduate students and academic researchers working in gravitational physics.
Review
“This is a resource monograph well balanced between a pedagogical scientific text and a review of current research on the subject. It should be standing undoubtedly, next to the “Exact solution book”, on the bookshelf of both graduate students and academic researchers working on general relativity.”
