Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
A revised edition of the now classic text, Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations gives a unique survey of the known solutions of Einstein's field equations for vacuum, Einstein-Maxwell, pure radiation and perfect fluid sources. It starts by introducing the foundations of differential geometry and Riemannian geometry and the methods used to characterize, find or construct solutions. The solutions are then considered, ordered by their symmetry group, their algebraic structure (Petrov type) or other in
