Research in Gravitation Theory and Relativistic Physics

引力物理学的研究将继续研究耗散流体的相对论理论。将考虑基本问题，并开始将其应用于天体物理情况。相对论耗散流体中的激波理论将得到发展。将应用于宇宙弦“尾迹”中的星系形成理论、相对论恒星模型的稳定性以及相对论重离子碰撞。广义相对论与量子物理学的关系也将在几个领域进行研究。

Investigations in Gravitational Physics will continue in the study of relativistic theories of dissipative fluids. Fundamental issues will be considered, and applications to astrophysical situations begun. The theory of shock waves in relativistic dissipative fluids will be developed. Applications will be made to the theory of galaxy formation in cosmic string "wakes", stability of relativistic stellar models, and relativistic heavy ion collisions. The relation of general relativity to quantum physics will also be examined in several areas.
