My research interests are in application of differential geometrical
methods to general relativity, classical field theories and classical
mechanics. I have worked on Lagrangian formulations of classical field
theories, in particular, Einstein's general relativity and the
transition to the Newtonian Limit. Similarly I have investigated the
relation between Hamiltonian multiparticle systems in a symplectic
formulation with relativistic, i.e. Poincaré invariant formulations.
Within Einstein's General Relativity Theory proper I investigated
asymptotically Euclidean static and stationary perfect fluid models
and made some contributions towards a proof that they must be
spherically symmetric in the static case and have unique slightly
ellipsoidal configurations for small angular velocity, the
configuration depending only on the equation of state, the total mass
and the angular momentum.
For the last about ten years I have concentrated on classical
solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations. Einstein's
gravitation theory and the Yang-Mills gauge theories describe the most
fundamental forces of physics. Both theories will have to be quantized
for the most precise description of nature, but also investigating the
classical field equations is most interesting.
I am now looking at finding analytical and numerical solutions for
systems with a very high symmetry, like static ones with spherical
symmetry and cosmological solutions with homogeneous space-like
sections. Such models are also particularly interesting mathematically
because there is no natural action of the symmetry group on the
principal bundle on which the Yang-Mills connections are given, but
rather there are many possible actions which can be classified like
Lie group representations.
