Applications of Symmetries for Solutions of Einstein Equations (Paperback)

General relativity is a physical theory which nowadays plays a key role in astrophysics and in physics and in this way it is important for a number of ambitious experiments and space missions. Einstein equations are central piece of general relativity. Einstein equations are expressed in terms of coupled system of highly nonlinear partial differential equations describing the matter content of space-time. The present work is to give an exposition of parts of the theory of partial differential equations that are needed in this subject and to represent exact solutions to Einstein equations. This book deals with various system of non linear partial differential equations corresponding to the Einstein equations for non diagonal Einstein-Rosen Metrics, Cylindrically Symmetric Null Fields, Vacuum Field Equations etc. from the view point of underlying symmetries and then to obtain their some new explicit exact solutions by using symmetry techniques like Lie symmetry analysis, symmetry reduction etc. These exact solutions play a significant for understanding of various phenomenons and are utilized for checking validity of numerical and approximation techniques and programs.
