An Introduction to the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation
Hájíček, Petr.
An Introduction to the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation [electronic resource] / by Petr Hájíček. - 1. - XIII, 280 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Physics, 750 0075-8450 ; . - Lecture Notes in Physics, 750 .
Geometrization of Mechanics -- Relativistic Particle Dynamics in Gravitational Fields -- Field Dynamics -- Dynamics of Gravity -- Cosmological Models -- Rotationally Symmetric Models of Stars -- Stationary Black Holes.
The geometric interpretation of gravitation is one of the major foundations of modern theoretical physics. This primer introduces classical general relativity with emphasis on the clarity of conceptual structure and on the basic mathematical methods to build up systematically application skills. The wealth of physical phenomena entailed by the Einstein‘s equations is revealed with the help of specific models describing gravitomagnetism, gravitational waves, cosmology, gravitational collapse and black holes. End-of-chapter exercises complete the main text. This book is based on class-tested notes for courses that have been held by the author over many years at the University of Bern, where Einstein worked at the local patent office and where the foundations of special relativity were laid.
