Part I covers the fundamentals of the subject and Part II the more advanced topics such as causal structure, and quantum effects.[1] The book uses the abstract index notation for tensors.[2] It treats spinors, the variational-principle formulation, the initial-value formulation, (exact) gravitational waves, singularities, Penrose diagrams, Hawking radiation, and black-hole thermodynamics.[3]
It is aimed at beginning graduate students and researchers.[3][4] To this end, most of the materials in Part I is geare
