{"product_id":"9789812387370","title":"Singular Null Hypersurfaces In General Relativity: Light-like Signals From Violent Astrophysical Events","description":"This book presents a comprehensive and self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory of impulsive light-like signals in general relativity. Applications are provided in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and alternative theories of gravity deduced from string theory. Cataclysmic astrophysical events give rise to impulsive light-like signals which can generally be decomposed into a thin shell of null matter and an impulsive gravitational wave. Several examples are considered in black hole physics, wave collisions and light-like boosts of compact gravitating sources.Graduate students and researchers in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and string theory will find this book very useful.","brand":"Peter A Hogan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47542720135486,"sku":"9789812387370","price":3187.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9789812387370.jpg?v=1707795427","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9789812387370","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
