Elements of General Relativity - Lecture 2

Explore the intricacies of general relativity in this 55-minute lecture delivered by Peter C. Aichelburg and Piotr T. Chruściel at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI). As part of the Thematic Programme on "Geometry beyond Riemann: Curvature and Rigidity," this talk delves into advanced concepts of Einstein's theory. Gain insights into the mathematical foundations and physical implications of general relativity, building upon the knowledge presented in the first lecture. Note that while this second installment is available, Lectures I and VI by Prof. Aichelburg are not publicly accessible due to copyright restrictions. Enhance your understanding of spacetime geometry, gravitational phenomena, and the mathematical tools used to describe them in this comprehensive exploration of general relativity.
