RESEARCH ON SOLUTIONS OF THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD EQUATIONS.

Abstract

The work is primarily concerned with gravitational radiation problems and related phenomena. The work can be broadly classified into two main categories with several subclasses; (I) Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations and their properties, (II) Asymptotic behavior of solutions, (a) Asymptotic structure, e.g. multipole moments, (b) Scattering of gravitational radiation, (c) Asymptotic symmetries, i.e. the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group, (d) Conservation Laws, and in particular those recently discovered by Newman and Penrose.
