Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: Development of the mathematical apparatus of General Relativity and its application to phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology.Contents: Physical foundations, differential and Riemannian geometry, dynamics of the gravitational field, Schwarzschild solution, gravitational collapse and black holes, relativistic cosmology, linearized theory of gravitation and gravitational waves.Method: Physical reasoning and mathematical deduction.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam if the sanitary situation allows; Oral exam online otherwise.

The PUE is an exam-immanent course and serves to prepare for the module examination. Registration for the PUE is not compulsory, but is recommended. ‘Note: Participation is binding when you register for the PUE.
It is possible to deregister from this course without consequences until 03/26/2021 11:59 PM.
Without exception, all students registered after this deadline can take part in the PUE and are graded according to the PUE assessment criteria.
The grade of the PUE does NOT count towards the grade of the module examination.
The proof of performance required for the module (VO + PUE) is provided by completing the module examination.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance of the course Relativity and Cosmology I strongly encouraged.
