Relativistic collapse
World-time description of collapse, gravitational freezing and compact-object structure.
RELATIVISTIC GRAVITATION AND COMPACT OBJECTS
Research on the physical interpretation and applications of general relativity, with emphasis on collapse, global time and compact objects.
MAIN THEMES
World-time description of collapse, gravitational freezing and compact-object structure.
Consistency of the dust-star solution, its coordinate transformation and matching to the external Schwarzschild geometry.
Parameter dependence of gravitational effects when mass, charge and angular momentum are physically separated.
Work on the interpretation of time standards and on observable effects controlled by gravitational slowing of local physical processes.
