Abstract:

The work is primarily concerned with gravitational radiation problems and related phenomena. The work can be broadly classified into two main categories with several subclasses I Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations and their properties, II Asymptotic behavior of solutions, a Asymptotic structure, e.g. multipole moments, b Scattering of gravitational radiation, c Asymptotic symmetries, i.e. the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group, d Conservation Laws, and in particular those recently discovered by Newman and Penrose.
