Directions in General Relativity: Proceedings of the 1993 International Symposium, Maryland: Papers in Honor of Dieter Brill

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511524653

These two volumes are the proceedings of a major International Symposium on General Relativity held at the University of Maryland in March 1993 to celebrate the sixtieth birthdays of Professor Charles Misner and Professor Dieter Brill. The volumes cover classical general relativity, quantum gravity and quantum cosmology, canonical formulation and the initial value problem, topology and geometry of spacetime and fields, mathematical and physical cosmology, and black hole physics and astrophysics. As invited articles, the papers in these volumes have an aim which goes beyond that of a standard conference proceedings. Not only do the authors discuss the most recent research results in their fields, but many also provide historical perspectives on how the subjects have developed and offer individual insights in their search for new directions.

‘In my opinion, this book should be in any scientific library and will be essential reading for professional gravitational physicists and students in these and related fields.’
