Some Remarks on Mathematical General Relativity Theory
This paper gives a brief survey of the development of general relativity theory starting from Newtonian theory and Euclidean geometry and proceeding through to special relativity and finally to general relativity and relativistic cosmology.
متن کاملSome Remarks on Dirac's Contributions to General Relativity
I provide a very brief sketch of some of Dirac's interests and work in gravity, particularly his Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein's theory and its relation to his earlier research. It is a great honor for any theoretical physicist to speak at a Memorial for Professor Dirac (like many others, I cannot bring myself to call him Paul!), whom I last saw when I gave a Colloquium here in Tallahasse...
متن کاملA new golden age: testing general relativity with cosmology.
Gravity drives the evolution of the Universe and is at the heart of its complexity. Einstein's field equations can be used to work out the detailed dynamics of space and time and to calculate the emergence of large-scale structure in the distribution of galaxies and radiation. Over the past few years, it has become clear that cosmological observations can be used not only to constrain different...
متن کاملOn the general relativity theory
In Appendix III of the fifth edition of his book Space, Time, Matter [15] henceforth cited as W (which has not been translated into English), Hermann Weyl derived for the first time, motivated by cosmological considerations, the general frequency shift formula for sources and observers moving arbitrarily in a general spacetime. In his discussion of cosmology (W, 39) he argued for a non-stationa...
متن کاملSome Recent Progress in Classical General Relativity
One of the most difficult problems in classical relativity is to understand how and when singularities form. In the 1960’s, Hawking and Penrose proved that the existence of a closed trapped surface in an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface gives rise to a singularity in space-time. However, no proof based on pure partial differential equation arguments was found, and many questions remai...
