Memories of my early career in relativity physics
Andrzej Trautman, Donald Salisbury
The text presented here and revised by the authors is based on the original oral history interview by Donald Salisbury with Andrzej Trautman recorded in Warsaw on June 24 and June…
Radiation and Boundary Conditions in the Theory of Gravitation
Andrzej Trautman
The Sommerfeld boundary conditions, applied to an asymptotically weak gravitational field, are shown to imply that the 1/r part of the curvature tensor of a space-time, satisfying…
Boundary Conditions at Infinity for Physical Theories
Andrzej Trautman
The Sommerfeld boundary conditions, imposed on hyperbolic differential equations to obtain solutions in the form of outgoing waves, are formulated here so as to make explicit the r…
A criterion for compatibility of conformal and projective structures
Vladimir S. Matveev, Andrzej Trautman
In a space-time, a conformal structure is defined by the distribution of light-cones. Geodesics are traced by freely falling particles, and the collection of all unparameterized ge…
Myron Mathisson: what little we know of his life
Tilman Sauer, Andrzej Trautman
Myron Mathisson (1897-1940) was a Polish Jew known for his work on the equations of motion of bodies in general relativity and for developing a new method to analyze the properties…
Einstein-Cartan Theory
Andrzej Trautman
The Einstein--Cartan Theory (ECT) of gravity is a modification of General Relativity Theory (GRT), allowing space-time to have torsion, in addition to curvature, and relating torsi…
