Description

This monograph describes the different formulations of Einstein''s General Theory of Relativity. Unlike traditional treatments Cartan''s geometry of fibre bundles and differential forms is placed at the forefront and a detailed review of the relevant differential geometry is presented. Particular emphasis is given to general relativity in 4D space-time in which the concepts of chirality and self-duality begin to play a key role. Associated chiral formulations are catalogued and shown to lead to many practical simplifications. The book develops the chiral gravitational perturbation theory in which the spinor formalism plays a central role. The book also presents in detail the twistor description of gravity as well as its generalisation based on geometry of 3-forms in seven dimensions. Giving valuable insight into the very nature of gravity this book joins our highly prestigious Cambridge Monographs in Mathematical Physics series. It will interest graduate students and researchers in the fields of theoretical physics and differential geometry. Language: English
