General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics
- N. Straumann
- Physics, Education
- 14 November 1984
This study edition, which concentrates on the physical content of Einstein's theory of relativity, is intended for students of physics, astrophysics and mathematics. The mathematical background of…
General Relativity: With Applications to Astrophysics
- N. Straumann
- Physics
- 12 July 2004
This text provides a comprehensive and timely introduction to general relativity. The foundations of the theory in Part I are thoroughly developed together with the required mathematical background…
A generalized Birkhoff theorem for the Einstein–Yang–Mills system
- O. Brodbeck, N. Straumann
- Mathematics
- 1 June 1993
Some results of a systematic study of the coupled Einstein–Yang–Mills (EYM) equations for arbitrary gauge groups are presented herein. In a first step a group theoretical analysis of spherically…
Instability proof for Einstein Yang-Mills solitons and black holes with arbitrary gauge groups
- O. Brodbeck, N. Straumann
- Physics
- 22 November 1994
We prove that static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat soliton and black hole solutions of the Einstein–Yang–Mills equations are unstable for arbitrary gauge groups, at least for the…
The history of the cosmological constant problem
- N. Straumann
- Physics
- 13 August 2002
The interesting early history of the cosmological term is reviewed, beginning with its introduction by Einstein in 1917 and ending with two papers of Zel'dovich, shortly before the advent of…
Gauge theory: Historical origins and some modern developments
- L. O'raifeartaigh, N. Straumann
- Physics
- 2000
One of the major developments of twentieth-century physics has been the gradual recognition that a common feature of the known fundamental interactions is their gauge structure. In this article the…
On the first Solvay Congress in 1911
- N. Straumann
- Physics
- 17 September 2011
Late in October 1911, eighteen leading scientists from all over Europe met to the first of a famous sequence of Solvay conferences in Brussels. This historical meeting was mainly devoted to “The…
From primordial quantum fluctuations to the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation
- N. Straumann
- Physics
- 30 May 2005
These lecture notes cover mainly three connected topics. In the first part we give a detailed treatment of cosmological perturbation theory. The second part is devoted to cosmological inflation and…
On Newton-Cartan Cosmology ∗
- Christian Ruede, N. Straumann
- Physics
- 1996
Abstract. After a brief summary of the Newton-Cartan theory in a form which emphasizes its close analogy togeneral relativity, we illustrate the theory with selective applications in cosmology. The…
