Black Holes and Wormholes in 2+1 Dimensions
Dieter Brill
Vacuum Einstein theory in three spacetime dimensions is locally trivial, but admits many solutions that are globally different, particularly if there is a negative cosmological con…
Instantons For Black Hole Pair Production
Paul M. Branoff, Dieter R. Brill
We address the issue of constructing continuous instantons representing the pair creation of black holes in a cosmological context. The recent attempt at constructing such solution…
The Cavendish Experiment in General Relativity
Dieter R. Brill
Solutions of Einstein's equations are discussed in which the ``gravitational force" is balanced by an electrical force, and which can serve as models for the Cavendish experiment.
Aspects of Analyticity (Lectures held at Kazan Summer School)
Dieter R. Brill
CONTENTS: 1 Introduction 2 Analytic Manifolds and Analytic Continuation of Metrics 3 Walker's Spacetimes and their Maximal Extension 4 Global Structure of de Sitter and Reissner-No…
Comments on Initial Value Formulation
Dieter R. Brill
This is the reply given at the conference ``Mach's Principle" at Tübingen in July 1993 to the paper by Isenberg (1993a). Unfortunately the Isenberg paper itself was not submitted t…
Euclidean Maxwell-Einstein Theory
Dieter Brill
After reviewing the context in which Euclidean propagation is useful we compare and contrast Euclidean and Lorentzian Maxwell-Einstein theory and give some examples of Euclidean so…
