Hello

My name is alejandro, I study physics in Chile.

Now i have to do my thesis. My course of general relativity you were guided for the text " a firtz course of general relativity of Bernard Schutz".

Do you recommend some theme for my thesis to me?

I want a theoretic theme and very advanced no, since my knowledge are not very advanced.

I want a mathematical theme pertaining to general relativity

Thanks

What about numerically solving the geodesic equations in some interesting space-times?

hello, thanks

for example that space-times?

Start with Minkowski space, then Schwartzchild and what ever else takes your fancy.

[alejandrito20]

Any other suggestion?

[alejandrito20]

which numerical methods are used for to solve the geodesic (by example)?

Runge–Kutta and similar will usually do.

 

If you can, using Mathematica, Mathlab or similar would probably be easier.
