General Relativity
Researchers: Leo Brewin, Tony Lun, Jules Kajtar, Robert Bartnik, Todd Oliynyk
Monash has a large group of researchers working in many areas of
both Classical and Numerical General Relativity, including differential
geometry. Some of the current projects include: Generalised Tolman-Bondi
space-times as models of spherical collapse; Perturbations in
the 1+1+2 formalism; angular momentum of asymptotically flat space
times; quasi-normal modes of rotating black holes; runaway solutions
of the Einstein Maxwell electro vac space times; formulation of
initial-value problems with matter sources; energy and quasi-local
energy definitions and properties, properties of spacetime
and the formation of singularities.
Increasingly computers are being used to develop insights into GR.
Our research in this area includes numerical integration of the
Robinson-Trautman and the Bondi mass equations; the
optical appearance of objects falling into black holes;
the development of new methods for General Relativity in
particular lattice methods such as Smooth Lattice General Relativity.
Some current projects include: the
evolution of Teukolsky waves, maximal sliced Oppenheimer-Snyder dust
collapse, boundary conditions for lattice methods, ray tracing in curved
space times.
