Applications are provided in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and alternative theories of gravity deduced from string theory. Cataclysmic astrophysical events give rise to impulsive light-like signals which can generally be decomposed into a thin shell of null matter and an impulsive gravitational wave. Several examples are considered in black hole physics, wave collisions and light-like boosts of compact gravitating sources.Graduate students and researchers in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and string theory will find this book very useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48226029404311,"sku":"9789812387370","price":8966.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789812387370.webp?v=1788769208","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/singular-null-hypersurfaces-in-general-9789812387370","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
