Exact Space-Times in Einstein’s General Relativity (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by Jerry B. Griffiths (PDF)

Description

Einstein’s theory of general relativity is a theory of gravity and, as in the earlier Newtonian theory, much can be learnt about the character of gravitation and its effects by investigating particular idealised examples. This book describes the basic solutions of Einstein’s equations with a particular emphasis on what they mean, both geometrically and physically. Concepts such as big bang and big crunch-types of singularities, different kinds of horizons and gravitational waves, are described in the context of the particular space-times in which they naturally arise. These notions are initially introduced using the most simple and symmetric cases. Various important coordinate forms of each solution are presented, thus enabling the global structure of the corresponding space-time and its other properties to be analysed. The book is an invaluable resource both for graduate students and academic researchers working in gravitational physics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I do research on the field and I found this book precious. It is full of valuable information, easy accessible. It lists for most Einstein’s space-times their basic properties. You don’t need to reed from beginning to the end. I just read the chapter I need in that moment.

⭐It’s good to learn about some exact solutions to Einstein’s equations.
