    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    Not yet, I am planning to do so in a conference that will take place shortly. That is why I had no reference on Numerical Relativity so far when I first made this post, but one on the mathematics behind GR.

    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    I'm switching institute. I've applied and got accepted, but the project will only begin in September. This is just for the meantime, while I'm also improving on my knowledge of programming languages and techniques.

    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    My professor, along with the rest of the institute I'm currently in, doesn't do any Numerical Relativity, most of our focus is on Cosmology. So I only asked him for references in the fundamentals behind GR, given that I also wish to improve my understanding of it.

    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    Fairly well. Looking back at some of the more advanced exercises I still have some trouble seeing the way to solve it. The same happens with some concepts, which were introduced in those courses but not developed much further (e.g.: killing vectors/fields, lie derivative, gauge...

    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    That's a good point, I always tend to neglect the time it takes to choose a path and often jump between references without reading them entirely... Do you feel like it would be possible to keep reading topics on more fundamental aspects of the theory in parallel with the PhD? Or is it something...

    Relativity Suggestions for graduate studies in General Relativity

    Hello everyone, I am a couple of months away of starting my PhD in Numerical Relativity and I am seeking recommendations for references to get a batter understanding on the mathematical foundations of GR and topics of Numerical Relativity. So far I have had an undergraduate introductory course...
