64. [gr-qc/9605010] Cosmic Topology general relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility that space is multi rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools to classify them and to analyse their properties. http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9605010

Conference Home Scientific Program Schedule of Talks Students ... MCTP Inaugural Conference of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics May 21-25, 2001 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Two theories revolutionized the 20th century view of space and time: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Their union has spawned elementary particle theories with extra spacetime dimensions, the inflationary model of big-bang cosmology, dark matter in the universe, radiation from quantum black holes and the fuzzy spacetime geometry of superstrings and M-theory. These developments, derived from the 19th century mathematics of Riemannian geometry and Lie groups, have in their turn inspired new directions in the pure mathematics of topology and knot theory. In view of the mission of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics to provide a venue for interdisciplinary studies in the mathematical sciences, this Inaugural Conference will bring together Astronomers, Cosmologists, Particle Physicists and Mathematicians to share their different perspectives on the 21st century view of spacetime. Invited speakers include: John Bahcall (IAS) Jacob Bekenstein (Jerusalem) Stanley Deser (Brandeis) Paul Frampton (UNC, Chapel Hill)

73. Ricci: A Mathematica Package For Doing Tensor Calculations In Differential Geome A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry and general relativity. http://www.math.washington.edu/~lee/Ricci/

Ricci A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry Version 1.37 Last Updated November 12, 2002 Ricci is a Mathematica package for doing symbolic tensor computations that arise in differential geometry. It has the following features and capabilities: Manipulation of tensor expressions with and without indices Implicit use of the Einstein summation convention Correct manipulation of dummy indices Display of results in mathematical notation, with upper and lower indices Automatic calculation of covariant derivatives Automatic application of tensor symmetries Riemannian metrics and curvatures Differential forms Any number of vector bundles with user-defined characteristics Names of indices indicate which bundles they refer to Complex bundles and tensors Conjugation indicated by barred indices Connections with and without torsion Limitations: Ricci currently does not support computation of explicit values for tensor components in coordinates, or derivatives of tensors depending on parameters (as in geometric evolution equations or calculus of variations), although support for these is planned for a future release. Ricci also has no explicit support for general relativity, or for other mathematical physics or engineering applications, and none is planned. If you are interested in such support, I recommend that you consider the commercial package MathTensor, which is far more extensive than Ricci, and provides all these capabilities and more. MathTensor is available from

77. GrayAlbert A two part overview of the Shapiro radar bounce test of general relativity. (The two parts consist of a section for normal people, and one for nerds) http://world.std.com/~sweetser/PopScience/timeDelay/timeDelay.html

The time delay of radar reflections off of Mercury installation 1995 For Folks It takes a few minutes for light to get to Mercury from Earth, but it takes a little longer due to the Sun. Radar signals from the Haystack Observatory in Westford Massachusetts were sent out into space to bounce off Mercury. The time the radar signals spent flying between the two planets was carefully measured. As the radar's path in space moved closer to the Sun, a small time delay grew in the radar reflections which is given by equations in the big, black book (Gravitation, by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler). Written in chalk is the artist's method to calculate the time delay. The tools used come directly from quantum mechanics which is not supposed to be an aid for such a calculation. Yet the results are the same (equation 40.13). For Nerds Irwin I. Shapiro measured the time delay of radar reflections off Mercury caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The logarithmic dependence on the impact parameter confirmed general relativity's prediction. The Lorentz group will be employed for a similar end. The gravitational fields for a bound test mass are characterized by a member of the Lorentz group in the following manner: take the Newtonian orbital velocity
