This book presents a comprehensive view of the mathematical theory of impulsive light-like signals in general relativity. Such signals can result from cataclysmic astrophysical events, and as the sub-title of “Light-like signals from astrophysical events” suggests, the topic has applications in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, as well as in alternative theories of gravity deduced from string theory.
