The most efficient way to operate a rocket is to increase its exhaust velocity as it accelerates. When this increase is done properly, the final kinetic energy of the rocket is maximized. It is shown that the resulting ‘‘perfect rocket’’ is f

This paper constructs the geometrically natural objects which are associated with any projection tensor field on a manifold with any affine connection. The approaches to projection tensor fields which have been used in general relativity and related

New boundary conditions are imposed on the familiar cylindrical gravitational wave vacuum spacetimes. The new spacetime family represents cylindrical waves in a flat expanding (Kasner) universe. Space sections are flat and nonconical where the waves

The generalized projection-tensor geometry introduced in an earlier paper is extended. A compact notation for families of projected objects is introduced and used to summarize the results of the previous paper and obtain fully projected decomposition

Several properties of instantaneous Cauchy surfaces are obtained. It is shown that a strongly causal spacetime admits an instantaneous Cauchy surface through each of its points, that there is a close and reversible relationship between these surfaces

The geometry of a projection tensor field in curved space-time is expressed in a way that does not restrict the dimensionality of the projection. The thermohydrodynamics of a perfect fluid then takes a compact and symmetrical form which also describe

The coordinate‐independent formulation of spacetime perturbation theory is applied to the analysis of surface terms which appear in variations of the Einstein Action of general relativity. Restricted variations of the type used to study the dynamic

Spacetimes with closed spacelike hypersurfaces and spacelike two-parameter isometry groups are investigated to determine their possible global structures. It is shown that the two spacelike Killing vectors always commute with each other. Connected gr
