Research Abstract |
Because of recent important observations and experiments of gravity or progress of computer science, we are now in the most exciting epoch of general relativity and gravitation after Einstein's theory of general relativity. Taking this opportunity, we had planned a systematic collaboration for several important subjects on relativity and gravity by prominent researchers. The subjects we studied are classified into three categories : (1) Fundamental problems in general relativity and gravitational wave astronomy (analytic approach : T.Futamase, K.Maeda, T.Nakamura, M.Sasaki, A.Tomimatsu ; numerical approach : Y.Eriguchi, H.Ishihara, Y.Kojima, T.Nakamura, K.Oohara, H.Shinkai) (2) Fundamental problems in relativistic cosmology (T.Futamase, A.Hosoya, Y.Kojima, K.Maeda) (3) Fundamental problems in particle physics and gravity (H.Ishihara, H.Kodama, K.Maeda, M.Sasaki, A.Tomimatsu, M.Yoshimura) In addition, we held three conferences on general relativity and gravitation each year for all researchers in this field to get together and to have discussions. For each conference, the number of participants was about 150 and we had beyond 50 talks. The results are published in the proceedings in Englishi. We also had several workshops by small numbers of researchers and students to make intensive discussion and collaborations.
