An introduction to some models of gravity
Mathematical Physics Seminar| Speaker: | Jason Hole, UC Davis |
| Location: | 3240 MSB |
| Start time: | Fri, Feb 29 2008, 3:10PM |
I will review the relativistic particle, motivated as gravity in one dimension. I will then review ADM formalism (which is a Legendre transform from coordinate space to phase space) and apply it to two instances of (2+1) gravity: the point source and BTZ black hole.
