Tensors, Relativity, and Cosmology, Second Edition by Mirjana Dalarsson PDF | 2.48 MB
N/A | 276 Pages
Title: Tensors, Relativity, and Cosmology
Author: Mirjana Dalarsson MSc - Engineering Physics 1984 Licentiate - Engineering Physics 1989
Year: N/A
Description:
Tensors, Relativity, and Cosmology, Second Edition , combines relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology in a single volume, providing a simplified introduction to each subject that is followed by detailed mathematical derivations.
The book includes a section on general relativity that gives the case for a curved space-time, presents the mathematical background (tensor calculus, Riemannian geometry), discusses the Einstein equation and its solutions (including black holes and Penrose processes), and considers the energy-momentum tensor for various solutions. In addition, a section on relativistic astrophysics discusses stellar contraction and collapse, neutron stars and their equations of state, black holes, and accretion onto collapsed objects, with a final section on cosmology discussing cosmological models, observational tests, and scenarios for the early universe.
This fully revised and updated second edition includes new material on relativistic effects, such as the behavior of clocks and measuring rods in motion, relativistic addition of velocities, and the twin paradox, as well as new material on gravitational waves, amongst other topics.
