Addressing a variety of theoretical cosmological problems, and
emphasizing a mathematical approach, this volume nicely complements
Peebles' Physical Cosmology (Princeton Series in Physics, 1971).
Ryan and Shepley have concentrated on the structure of models of
the universe. By using a modern terminology that emphasizes the
operator nature of vectors and tensors, as opposed to their
components in a particular coordinate system, the authors develop
modern tensor analysis to the point where it can be applied to
general relativistic cosmology. They then use it to describe
homogeneous cosmologies in considerable detail. Both students and
researchers are likely to find these techniques especially useful.
Among their subjects are: spaces with groups of motions;
singularities; Taub-NUT-Misner space; Bianchitype models;
Hamiltonian cosmology; and perturbations in anisotropic models. A
brief section on observations is also included, as is a complete
bibliography. A final section presents graded exercises that
underscore the potential yet unrealized in this area of study.
Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
