Mathematical and Quantum Aspects of Relativity and Cosmology

This book is written in a pedagogical style intelligible for graduate students. It reviews recent progress in black-hole and wormhole theory and in mathematical cosmology within the framework of Einstein's field equations and beyond, including quantum effects. This collection of essays, written by leading scientists of long standing reputation, should become an indispensable source for future research. von Cotsakis, Spiros und Gibbons, Gary W.
