The traditional approximation in general relativity
We discuss the generalisation of the so-called traditional approximation, well known in geophysics, to general relativity. We show that the approximation is applicable for rotating relativistic stars provided that one focuses on relatively thin radial shells. This means that the framework can be used to study waves in neutron star oceans. We demonstrate that, once the effects of the relativisti...
متن کاملIs the Regge Calculus a consistent approximation to General Relativity?
We will ask the question of whether or not the Regge calculus (and two related simplicial formulations) is a consistent approximation to General Relativity. Our criteria will be based on the behaviour of residual errors in the discrete equations when evaluated on solutions of the Einstein equations. We will show that for generic simplicial lattices the residual errors can not be used to disting...
متن کاملTowards A Physics-Motivated Small-Velocities Approximation to General Relativity
In the general case, complex non-linear partial differential equations of General Relativity are very hard to solve. Thus, to solve the corresponding physical problems, usually appropriate approximations are used. The first approximation to General Relativity is, of course, Newton’s theory of gravitation. Newton’s theory is applicable when the gravitational field is weak and when all velocities...
متن کاملGeneral Relativity and Experiment *
The confrontation between Einstein’s theory of gravitation and experiment is summarized. Although all current experimental data are compatible with General Relativity, the importance of pursuing the quest for possible deviations from Einstein’s theory is emphasized. ∗To appear in the Proceedings of the XIth International Congress of Mathematical Physics (Paris,July 1994)
متن کامل2 00 6 Wave mechanics and the Zeldovich approximation
The equations of motion of a self-gravitating fluid of collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) particles can be written in the form of a Schrödinger equation coupled to a Poisson equation describing Newtonian gravity. In a spatially flat CDM-dominated universe the Schrödinger equation can be reduced to the free-particle Schrödinger equation and, in an appropriate limit, we show that the free-parti...
