SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for a concise review of general relativity at an advanced level. Key recommendations include Sean Carroll's online material, "Topics in General Relativity" by Alexander Winitzki, and a personal book by the user, which provides a structured approach to the subject. The materials are intended for individuals who have previously studied general relativity but need a refresher without delving into exhaustive details. The suggested resources are ranked in order of increasing difficulty, starting with the user's own book.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with the fundamental concepts of general relativity
  • Basic understanding of tensor calculus and differential geometry
  • Previous exposure to advanced physics topics
  • Ability to navigate online academic resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Sean Carroll's online general relativity material
  • Read "Topics in General Relativity" by Alexander Winitzki
  • Review the user's personal book on general relativity
  • Investigate additional advanced textbooks on general relativity for deeper insights
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, graduate students, and researchers looking to refresh their knowledge of general relativity without re-studying the entire subject. Ideal for those who have previously engaged with the material and seek a quick yet comprehensive review.

There are several online materials on general relativity. Here I would like to get suggestions about concise review of general relativity at somewhat advanced level. The idea is that this should be enough for recapitulating the area at advanced level by somebody who had studied it thoroughly earlier but is out-of-touch with it for a long time. (Also one is not interested in learning all those stuff thoroughly again as that would be too time consuming.) I am not looking for just a list of important formula but compilation of all central concepts and the important results. Thanks.
