The Dynamics of General Relativity
This article—summarizing the authors' then novel formulation of General Relativity— appeared as Chapter 7, pp.227–264, in Gravitation: an introduction to current research, L. Witten, ed. (Wiley, New York, 1962), now long out of print. Intentionally unretouched, this posting is intended to provide contemporary accessibility to the flavor of the original ideas. Some typographical corrections have...
متن کاملThe Spherical Symmetry of Static Stellar Systems in General Relativity
Abstract. A conjecture of many years standing in General Relativity is that static stellar models, under physically reasonable assumptions, must be spherically symmetric. Despite some real progress in the last eighteen years (Beig and Simon, Masood-ul-Alam) a proof of the conjecture, in its full generality, has remained elusive. We consider asymptotically flat, perfect fluid, static stellar spa...
متن کاملOverview of Pulsar Tests of General Relativity
Radio pulsar observations can be used to test aspects of general relativity from equivalence principle violations to binary orbital effects in the strong-field regime. This article summarizes the status of such tests at the start of the meeting, and describes two new tests made possible by recent observations of well-known binary pulsar systems.
متن کاملRotating Collapse of Stellar Iron Cores in General Relativity
We present results from the first 2+1 and 3+1 simulations of the collapse of rotating stellar iron cores in general relativity employing a finite-temperature equation of state and an approximate treatment of deleptonization during collapse. We compare full 3+1 and conformally-flat spacetime evolution methods and find that the conformally-flat treatment is sufficiently accurate for the core-coll...
متن کاملPerspectives on Galactic Dynamics via General Relativity
Responses to questions, comments and criticism of our recent paper “General Relativity Resolves..” [1] are provided. It is emphasized that our model is entirely natural to describe the dynamics of an axially symmetric galaxy and that our solution, albeit idealized, contains the essence of the problem. The discontinuity of the metric derivative on the symmetry plane is necessarily interpreted as...
