Sixth Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics FROM THE PUBLISHER
This volume is the refereed proceedings of the Sixth Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics held in May 1995 at the University of New Brunswick. The book includes invited talks and contributed talks and posters including state-of-the-art reviews of many of the most recent important developments in gravitational physics. This book would serve as a good supplement to standard texts on the topic.

Proceedings from the May 1995 conference. Articles review key areas,
such as black holes, numerical relativity, and most of gravitational
physics. Specific topics include when black holes collide; solving
the Einstein constraint equations; the laws of black hole mechanics
in an arbitrary Lagrangian theory of gravity; general relativity
calculations in Maple; using the Schrdinger equation for
astrophysical and cosmological simulations; decoherence of the Unruh
detector; entropy of eternal black holes; the nature of cosmic time;
and numerical quantum gravity by dynamical triangulation. No index.
