Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Brussels Universities, Belgium and University of Cambridge, UK
- Offers a self-contained and pedagogical presentation with numerous schematic drawings illustrating abstract concepts
- Shows that the approach is driven and motivated by physical intuition, despite treating a theoretical and highly mathematical subject
- Is the only book to describe the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetry in a way that is accessible for non-experts
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Springer Theses (Springer Theses)
