چکیده
Relativistic elasticity on an arbitrary spacetime is formulated as a Lagrangian field theory which is covariant under spacetime diffeomorphisms. This theory is the relativistic version of classical elasticity in the hyperelastic, materially frame-indifferent case and, on Minkowski space, reduces to the latter in the limit c → ∞. The field equations are cast into a first – order symmetric hyperbolic system. As a consequence one obtains local–in–time existence and uniqueness theorems under various circumstances. Keyword: elasticity, general relativity

We have studied the Generalised Brans-Dicke theory and obtained exact solutions of a(t),φ(t), and ω(t) for different epochs of the cosmic evolution. We discuss how inflation,decceleration,cosmic acceleration can result from this solution.The time variation of G(t) is also examined .

The global structure of solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to the Vlasov equation is investigated in the presence of a twodimensional symmetry group. It is shown that there exist global CMC and areal time foliations. The proof is based on long-time existence theorems for the partial differential equations resulting from the EinsteinVlasov system when conformal or areal coordinates are ...

After a review of the 1+3 point of view on non-inertial observers and of the problems of rotating reference frames, we underline that was is lacking in their treatment is a good global notion of simultaneity due to the restricted validity of the existing 4-coordinates associated to an accelerated observer (like the Fermi normal ones). We show that the relativistic Hamiltonian 3+1 point of view,...

Under an appropriate change of the perturbation variable LifshitzKhalatnikov propagation equations for the scalar perturbation reduce to d’Alembert equation. The change of variables is based on the Darboux transform.
