Spacetime and Fields
by Nikodem J. Poplawski
Publisher: arXiv 2009
Number of pages: 114
Description:
We present a self-contained introduction to the classical theory of spacetime and fields. The order of the presentation is: 1. Spacetime (tensors, affine connection, curvature, metric, tetrad and spin connection, Lorentz group, spinors), 2. Fields (principle of least action, action for gravitational field, matter, symmetries and conservation laws, gravitational field equations, spinor fields, electromagnetic field).

Neutrosophic Methods in General Relativityby D. Rabounski, F. Smarandache, L. Borissova - Hexis
Neutrosophy is a theory developed by Florentin Smarandache in 1995, which studies the nature and properties of neutralities. This book applies neutrosophic method to the General Theory of Relativity, aiming to discover new effects hidden before.
