The Minimal Geometric Deformation -- Stellar Distributions -- Microscopic Black Holes -- A Generalization of the Minimal Geometric Deformation -- Gravitational Decoupling |
| Summary |
This book serves two main purposes: firstly, it shows, in a simple way, how the possible existence of an extra-spatial dimension would affect the predictions of four-dimensional General Relativity, a model known as the Brane world; secondly, it explains, step-by-step, a new technique called Minimal Geometric Deformation, which was introduced for the purpose of solving the correspondingly modified Einstein field equations. This method gave rise to the Gravitational Decoupling in General Relativity, which is widely used to solve the Einstein field equations in various contexts |
