General Relativity, Cosmology and Astrophysics Perspectives 100 years after Einstein's stay in Prague
The articles included in this Volume represent a broad and highly qualified view on the present state of general relativity, quantum gravity, and their cosmological and astrophysical implications. As such, it may serve as a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration for experts in these fields, as...
