Gravitational Waves, Sources, and Detectors
by Bernard F Schutz, Franco Ricci
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 82
Description:
Notes of lectures for graduate students that were given at Lake Como in 1999, covering the theory of linearized gravitational waves, their sources, and the prospects at the time for detecting gravitational waves. The lectures remain of interest for pedagogical reasons, and in particular because they contain a treatment of current-quadrupole gravitational radiation that is not readily available in other sources.

Mass and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
by J.L. Jaramillo, E. Gourgoulhon - arXiv
We present an introduction to mass and angular momentum in General Relativity. After briefly reviewing energy-momentum for matter fields, first in the flat Minkowski case (Special Relativity) and then in curved spacetimes with or without symmetries.

Dynamical and Hamiltonian Formulation of General Relativity
by Domenico Giulini - arXiv.org
This text introduces the reader to the reformulation of Einstein's field equations of General Relativity as a constrained evolutionary system of Hamiltonian type and discusses some of its uses, together with some technical and conceptual aspects.

Neutrosophic Methods in General Relativity
by 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.

Space - Time - Matter
by Hermann Weyl - Methuen & Co.
A classic of physics -- the first systematic presentation of Einstein's theory of relativity. Long one of the standard texts in the field, this excellent introduction probes deeply into Einstein's general relativity, gravitational waves and energy.
