Relativistic Cosmology 1st Edition by George F. R. Ellis (PDF)

Description

Cosmology has been transformed by dramatic progress in high-precision observations and theoretical modelling. This book surveys key developments and open issues for graduate students and researchers. Using a relativistic geometric approach, it focuses on the general concepts and relations that underpin the standard model of the Universe. Part I covers foundations of relativistic cosmology whilst Part II develops the dynamical and observational relations for all models of the Universe based on general relativity. Part III focuses on the standard model of cosmology, including inflation, dark matter, dark energy, perturbation theory, the cosmic microwave background, structure formation and gravitational lensing. It also examines modified gravity and inhomogeneity as possible alternatives to dark energy. Anisotropic and inhomogeneous models are described in Part IV, and Part V reviews deeper issues, such as quantum cosmology, the start of the universe and the multiverse proposal. Colour versions of some figures are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521381154.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐This book covers all aspects of modern cosmology, and is written by the foremost experts in the field, George Ellis, Roy Maartens and Malcolm MacCallum. It also gives an honest overview and summary on more popular topics such as the multiverse.The interested reader should have a course in General Relativity before tackling this book though,as the basic concepts of GR are only summarized briefly.

⭐All See Inside windows of the amazon books, shows only the introduction and the index. One cannot make a judgment as to the value of the book if it is meaty or shallow and its real contents (photographs, graphs, midway of the book contents, writing style, equations etc). I do not buy more because the browsing is useless. I hope Amazon can do a better job on this matter.
