Description

Book Synopsis
This 2001 book gives a self-contained exposition of the theory of gravitational solitons and provide a comprehensive review of exact soliton solutions to Einstein's equations. A valuable reference for researchers and graduate students.

Trade Review
' … this is a complete and detailed treatment of a complicated subject. The authors provide a general introduction to their methods and the book is essentially self-contained. It could in principle be read by a third year undergraduate who had taken an introductory course in general relativity, particularly one who was interested in integrable systems.' Contemporary Physics
