The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes


Add your own review!

Overview

This treatise is devoted to the mathematical theory of the space-times surrounding the black holes of nature. Since the general theory of relativity provides a unique family of solutions (the Kerr family) for black holes, the subject is mathematically well defined. A preliminary chapter provides the basic mathematical tools. The principal chapters deal with the Schwarzchild solution, describing static, spherically symmetric black holes. The geometry of these space-times is analyzed in terms of their geodesics. A particular feature of the book is the collection of illustrations exhibiting the various classes of geodesics.
