by Khriplovich, I. B [author.]; SpringerLink (Online service).
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: New York, NY : Springer New York, 2005.Description: X, 116 p. online resource.ISBN: 9780387274065.Subject(s): Physics | Relativity (Physics) | Physics | Relativity and Cosmology | Physics, generalDDC classification: 523.1 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
Particle in Gravitational Field -- Fundamentals of Riemann Geometry -- Einstein Equations -- Weak Field. Observable Effects -- Variational Principle. Exact Solutions -- Interaction of Spin with Gravitational Field -- Gravitational Waves -- General Relativity and Cosmology -- Are Black Holes Really Black?.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book offers an alternative to other textbooks on the subject, providing a more specific discussion of numerous general relativistic effects for readers who have knowledge of classical mechanics and electrodynamics, including special relativity. Coverage includes gravitational lensing, signal retardation in the gravitational field of the Sun, the Reissner-Nordström solution, selected spin effects, the resonance transformation of an electromagnetic wave into a gravitational one, and the entropy and temperature of black holes. The book includes numerous problems at various levels of difficulty, making it ideal also for independent study by a broad readership of advanced students and researchers. I.B. Khriplovich is Chief Researcher, Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, and Chair of Theoretical Physics at Novosibirsk University. Dr. Khriplovich is a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has been awarded the Dirac Medal ``For the advancement of theoretical physics'' by University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and the Pomeranchuk Prize ``For outstanding contribution to the understanding the properties of the standard model, especially for illuminating work on weak and strong interactions of quarks'' by the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Moscow, Russia.
