The action function for the gravitational field. The energy momentum tensor. Newton's law. Motion
in a centrally symmetric gravitational field. The energy moment pseudotensor. Gravitational waves.
Gravitational fields at large distances from bodies. Isotropic space. Space-time metric in the closed
and in the open isotropic models. The re shift. |
