The Analysis of Space-Time Singularities (Cambridge Lecture Notes in Physics, Series Number 1) 1st Edition by C. J. S. Clarke (PDF)

Description

The theorems of Hawking and Penrose show that space-times are likely to contain incomplete geodesics. Such geodesics are said to end at a singularity if it is impossible to continue the space-time and geodesic without violating the usual topological and smoothness conditions on the space-time. In this book the different possible singularities are defined, and the mathematical methods needed to extend the space-time are described in detail. The results obtained (many appearing here for the first time) show that singularities are associated with a lack of smoothness in the Riemann tensor. While the Friedmann singularity is analysed as an example, the emphasis is on general theorems and techniques rather than on the classification of particular exact solutions.

Editorial Reviews: Review “…will surely be extremely useful to researchers already working on cosmic censorship. or contemplating entering the field, and of great interest to classical relativists who are interested in finding out more about it.” Robert J. Low, Mathematical Reviews Book Description In this book the different possible singularities are defined, and the mathematical methods needed to extend the space-time are described in detail.

⭐相対論の数学的な興味のひとつに特異点定理がありますが、この本は特異点に関するいろはが説明されています。ただ、相対論をちょっと勉強してという段階でこの本を理解するのは難しいかもしれません。ホーキングエリスの教科書ほどは難解ではないと思いますが、それでも数学的に結構な知識が要求されます。でも、気合を入れて読めば、そうした数学にもなれることができるいい本だと思います。
