Excising das All: Evolving Maxwell waves beyond scri
Charles W. Misner, James R. van Meter, David R. Fiske
We study the numerical propagation of waves through future null infinity in a conformally compactified spacetime. We introduce an artificial cosmological constant, which allows us…
Over the Rainbow: Numerical Relativity beyond Scri+
Charles W. Misner
This is a study of the behavior of wave equations in conformally compactified spacetimes suited to the use of computational boundaries beyond Scri+. There light cones may be adjust…
Hyperboloidal Slices and Artificial Cosmology for Numerical Relativity
Charles W. Misner
This preliminary report proposes integrating the Maxwell equations in Minkowski spacetime using coordinates where the spacelike surfaces are hyperboloids asymptotic to null cones a…
Gravitational wave detectors based on matter wave interferometers (MIGO) are no better than laser interferometers (LIGO)
Albert Roura, Dieter R. Brill, B. L. Hu +2
We show that a recent claim that matter wave interferometers have a much higher sensitivity than laser interferometers for a comparable physical setup is unfounded. We point out wh…
The Dynamics of General Relativity
R. Arnowitt, S. Deser, C. W. Misner
This article--summarizing the authors' then novel formulation of General Relativity--appeared as Chapter 7 of an often cited compendium edited by L. Witten in 1962, which is now lo…
Spherical Harmonic Decomposition on a Cubic Grid
Charles W. Misner
A method is described by which a function defined on a cubic grid (as from a finite difference solution of a partial differential equation) can be resolved into spherical harmonic…
