This research is intended to increase understanding of gravitational physics both at large distance scales and at very small distance scales. In particular, the following aspects of gravitational theory are studied; Dynamical behavior and gravitational radiation from binary systems such as black holes and neutron stars; Theory of classical and quantum graviational fields with Symmetry; Mathematical structure and dynamical behavior of cosmological models; Conservation laws for gravitational theories.A number of open questions of mathematical and physical interest are addressed, which are related to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and its extensions. Through this work, understanding of gravitational physics and quantum physics as well as the interaction of these two cornerstones of contemporary physical theory is enhanced; theoretical support to the emerging field of gravitational astronomy is provided, and the state of the art in various areas of applied mathmatics is advanced. Finally, the education and training of prospective students in mathematics and theoretical physics is facilitated by activities associated with this research.

这项研究的目的是增加在大距离尺度和非常小的距离尺度上对引力物理学的理解。 重点研究了引力理论的以下几个方面：黑洞和中子星等双星系统的动力学行为和引力辐射，具有对称性的经典引力场和量子引力场理论，宇宙学模型的数学结构和动力学行为，引力场的量子化和量子化。引力理论的守恒定律。一些数学和物理上感兴趣的公开问题得到了解决，这与爱因斯坦的广义相对论及其扩展有关。 通过这项工作，理解引力物理和量子物理以及当代物理理论的这两个基石的相互作用得到加强;为新兴的引力天文学领域提供理论支持，并在应用数学的各个领域的艺术状态是先进的。 最后，与本研究相关的活动促进了未来学生在数学和理论物理方面的教育和培训。
