"This book suitable for post graduates in Physics and Astrophysics aims at introducing the theory of general relativity as an important background for doing astrophysics. Starting from a detailed discussion of the various mathematical concepts for doing general relativity, the b…
2.2.4 Gauge transformations and their properties -- 2.2.5 Differential conservation laws -- 2.2.6 Different variants of the field-theoretical formulation in general relativity -- 2.2.7 The background as an auxiliary structure -- 2.3 Metric perturbations as compensating fields --…
By focusing on the mostly used variational methods, this monograph aspires to give a unified description and comparison of various ways of constructing conserved quantities for perturbations and to study symmetries in general relativity and modified theories of gravity. The main…
"The concept of gravity provides a natural phenomenon that is simultaneously obvious and obscure; we all know what it is, but rarely question why it is. The simple observation that 'what goes up must come down' contrasts starkly with our current scientific explanation of gravity…
