This book is an updated and modified translation of the Russian
edition of 1984. In the present edition, certain sections have been
abridged (in particular, Sects. 6.1 and 8.3) and the bibliography
has been expanded. There are more detailed discus sions of the
group properties of integrable systems of equations of mathematical
physics (Sect. 3.4) and of the Riemannian problem in the context of
the infinite dimensional internal symmetry groups of these systems
of equations. There is an extended discussion of the reasons for
the acceleration and retardation of pulsars in connection with more
recent achievements of X-ray astronomy. Part of the material of
Chap. 8 of the Russian edition has been included in Chap. 7; thus
the number of chapters has been reduced to seven. S. Chandrasekhar
set for me an example of brilliant analytical penetration into the
essence of physical problems, and my book touches on his work in
many in stances. The results of modem quantum theories of strong
fields are not presented, but they can be found in the fundamental
monographs Quantwn Electrodynamics of Strong Fields by W. Greiner,
B. Muller, J. Rafelski (Sprioger-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New
York 1985) and Quantwn Effects in Intense External Fields in
Russian] by A. Grib, S. Mamaev, W. Mostepanenko (Energoatomizdat,
Moscow 1988). This book was translated by Dr. N. M. Queen; I am
very grateful to him. I thank sincerely H. Latta, C.-D. Bachem, V.
Rehman, S. von Kalckreuth for preparing of the english manuscript."
