Einstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups
When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
متن کاملPhysics 110. Electricity and Magnetism. Professor Dine Spring, 2008. Handout: Vectors and Tensors: “Everything You Need to Know”
What makes E&M hard, more than anything else, is the problem that the electric and magnetic fields are vectors, and that Maxwell’s equations involve the curl as well as the simpler gradient. This is not just what makes it hard for us in class; it is why it took so long to work out the laws of electricity and magnetism. This note is a concise summary of the things you need to know about vectors ...
متن کاملAsymptotically hyperbolic non-constant mean curvature solutions of the Einstein constraint equations
We describe how the iterative technique used by Isenberg and Moncrief to verify the existence of large sets of non-constant mean curvature solutions of the Einstein constraints on closed manifolds can be adapted to verify the existence of large sets of asymptotically hyperbolic non-constant mean curvature solutions of the Einstein constraints. PACS numbers: 0420H, 0420 Professor Andrzej Trautma...
متن کاملThe Averaging Problem in Cosmology and Macroscopic Gravity
The averaging problem in cosmology and the approach of macroscopic gravity to resolve the problem is discussed. The averaged Einstein equations of macroscopic gravity are modified on cosmological scales by the macroscopic gravitational correlation tensor terms as compared with the Einstein equations of general relativity. This correlation tensor satisfies a system of structure and field equatio...
متن کاملBrane-world Cosmology
Brane-world models, where observers are restricted to a brane in a higher dimensional spacetime, offer a novel perspective on cosmology. I discuss some approaches to cosmology in extra dimensions and some interesting aspects of gravity and cosmology in brane-world models. COSMOLOGY AFTER EINSTEIN A century after Einstein first proposed his theory of relativity, it has become a cornerstone of th...
