Israel's Formalism: The Metric Junction Method

[thecoop]

Hello guys , beside Einstein's General Theory of Relativity by hervik , is there any lecture or book about this case ?


Thx

I think MTW talks about junction conditions, not positive it's the same thing, but it's likely.

The original article is pretty good, although difficult to find. Go check the archives in your local science department library.

Most of the material is also covered in these notes: http://www.physics.uoguelph.ca/poisson/research/agr.pdf

for your question! Israel's Formalism, also known as the Metric Junction Method, is a mathematical framework used to solve Einstein's equations in general relativity. It was developed by W. Israel in 1966 and has been used extensively in the study of black holes and gravitational waves.

Regarding your question about additional resources on this topic, there are indeed many lectures and books available that discuss Israel's Formalism. Some notable ones include "Gravitational Waves" by Michele Maggiore, "Black Holes, Gravitational Waves and Cosmology" by Bernard F. Schutz, and "General Relativity" by Robert M. Wald.

I would also recommend checking out online resources such as lecture notes and videos from universities and research institutions. Additionally, there are many research papers and articles available on this topic that can provide a more in-depth understanding.

Overall, Israel's Formalism is a crucial tool in understanding and solving Einstein's equations, and there are plenty of resources available to help further your knowledge on the subject. I hope this helps!
