Sinopsis

This collection contains survey articles dealing with the following topics: The Mach principle and its role in the general theory of relativity, the modern conception of the vacuum, new methods in the theory of Lie group representations, the coherent state method and its applica­ tion to physical problems, and the Newman-Penrose method and its application to problems in general relativity theory. v CONTENTS On the Problem of Singularity in the De Sitter Model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 v.

Markov ••• The de Sitter solution in no way corresponds to the case of a world without matter, but corresponds rather to a world in which all matter is concentrated on the surface r = IT /2 which could proba bly be proved by taking the limit from a volume distri bution of matter to a surface distribution [1].
