Hi

I am teaching myself GTR from Dirac's book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/069101146X/?tag=pfamazon01-20). Although, he quiet elegantly introduces the notion of curved space and the associated mathematics, I am not getting comfortable with it.

I was wondering if there is a collection of problems which I can work on to test my understanding of the subject. Google is not of much help.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/069108162X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 If you're serious about GR then this book is an absolute must. Almost every problem in it is extremely instructive and will do wonders for your understanding of GR and ability to do GR calculations.

As an aside, Dirac's book is extremely outdated. I have no idea why you are using it to learn GR. Rest assured you are not doing yourself any favors by using it, quite the opposite really.

Thank you very much for the link.

I enjoy studying it (so that is indeed a favor :)). But again thank you for the heads up. I would leave the modern GTR for graduate school.

Haha well I can't argue with that :smile:
 
Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

See Dirac's brief treatment of the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor in the attached picture. Dirac is presumably integrating eq. (31.2) over the 4D "hypercylinder" defined by ##T_1 \le x^0 \le T_2## and ##\mathbf{|x|} \le R##, where ##R## is sufficiently large to include all the matter-energy fields in the system. Then \begin{align} 0 &= \int_V \left[ ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g}\, \right]_{,\nu} d^4 x = \int_{\partial V} ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g} \, dS_\nu \nonumber\\ &= \left(...

Thread 'Describing the Big Bang'

I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had a beginning, a subatomic point called a singularity. This point of intense heat and density rapidly ballooned outward. My first reaction was that this is a layman's approximation to...

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
