Equivalence: A Covariantly Constant Problem In General Relativity, Jaren Hobbs
Equivalence: A Covariantly Constant Problem In General Relativity, Jaren Hobbs
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In studying the space-time structures described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, it is often useful to identify particular properties referred to as geometrical invariants. These are attributes of the space-times which do not change regardless of the underlying coordinate systems used to study them. This project is part of a larger effort to catalogue space-times studied in general relativity. Specifically, computational software was used to identify structures known as covariantly constant vector fields.

Fundamental Aspects Of Black Holes, Jacob Fisher Ciafre
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The literature study here seeks to present the foundations of black hole physics in General Relativity. The report includes a discussion of the Kerr black hole metric, black hole entropy, particle creation, the laws of black hole mechanics, and a bilinear mass formula for the Kerr-Newman black hole solution.
