In early April 1911 Albert Einstein arrived in Prague to become
full professor of theoretical physics at the German part of Charles
University. It was there, for the first time, that he concentrated
primarily on the problem of gravitation. Before he left Prague in
July 1912 he had submitted the paper Relativitat und Gravitation:
Erwiderung auf eine Bemerkung von M. Abraham in which he remarkably
anticipated what a future theory of gravity should look like.
At the occasion of the Einstein-in-Prague centenary an
international meeting was organized under a title inspired by
Einstein's last paper from the Prague period: "Relativity and
Gravitation, 100 Years after Einstein in Prague." The main topics
of the conference included: classical relativity, numerical
relativity, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, quantum
gravity, experimental aspects of gravitation and conceptual and
historical issues.
The conference attracted over 200 scientists from 31 countries,
among them a number of leading experts in the field of general
relativity and its applications. This volume includes abstracts of
the plenary talks and full texts of contributed talks and articles
based on the posters presented at the conference. These describe
primarily original results of the authors. Full texts of the
plenary talks are included in the volume "General Relativity,
Cosmology and Astrophysics--Perspectives 100 Years after Einstein
in Prague," eds. J. Bi ak and T. Ledvinka, published also by
Springer Verlag."
