Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Aims: Development of the mathematical apparatus of General Relativity and its application to phenomena in astrophysics and cosmology.Contents: Physical foundations, differential and Riemannian geometry, dynamics of the gravitational field, Schwarzschild solution, gravitational collapse and black holes, relativistic cosmology, linearized theory of gravitation and gravitational waves.Method: Physical reasoning and mathematical deduction.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written exam if the sanitary situation allows; Oral exam online otherwise.The PUE is an exam-immanent course and serves to prepare for the module examination. Registration for the PUE is not compulsory, but is recommended. ‘Note: Participation is binding when you register for the PUE.
It is possible to deregister from this course without consequences until 03/26/2021 11:59 PM.
Without exception, all students registered after this deadline can take part in the PUE and are graded according to the PUE assessment criteria.
The grade of the PUE does NOT count towards the grade of the module examination.
The proof of performance required for the module (VO + PUE) is provided by completing the module examination.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Attendance of the course " Introduction to Theory of Relativity" strongly encouraged, but not compulsory.The student will write a summary of what he knows concerning three topics randomly assigned from the set of questions available at
https://gravity.univie.ac.at/studies/relativitaetstheorie-und-kosmologie-ii/
The summary must show clear understanding of the problem asked, including proofs of relevant formulae or equations. Reproducing equations without justifications will not be considered as proof of understanding of the subject.Each question is marked with a maximum of 6 points. A total of 16 or more points gives a mark 1; 14-15 give a mark 2; 12-14 give a mark 3; 9-11 give a mark 4; less than 9 gives a mark 5
