Algebraic Computing in General Relativity (Physics)

德雷教授将发起一项新的理论研究计划。他的研究跨越了数学、物理和计算机科学之间的传统界限。它涉及对引力理论感兴趣的某些几何中的对称性进行符号计算的程序的开发。这将有助于为引力场的爱因斯坦方程的解提供坐标独立分类。

A new program of theoretical research will be initiated by Professor Dray. His research crosses the traditional boundaries separating mathematics, physics, and computer science. It involves the development of programs for symbolic computation of the symmetries in certain geometries of interest to gravitational theory. This will help provide coordinate independent classification to solutions of Einstein's equations for the gravitational field.
