Israel's Formalism: The Metric Junction Method

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the topic of Israel's Formalism and the Metric Junction Method, specifically seeking resources such as lectures or books that cover this subject in relation to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The scope includes theoretical exploration and references to academic materials.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about additional resources beyond Hervik's work on General Relativity.
  • Another participant suggests that MTW (Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler) discusses junction conditions, indicating a possible relevance to the Metric Junction Method.
  • A third participant mentions that the original article on the topic is valuable but difficult to locate, recommending checking local science department libraries for archives.
  • This participant also points to specific notes available online that cover similar material.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on specific resources, but there is a general agreement that relevant materials exist, albeit with some uncertainty about their accessibility and direct relevance to the original inquiry.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the availability of certain articles and the clarity of how closely related the suggested resources are to the Metric Junction Method.

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
 
Thank you very much clamtrox
