This Master's project aims at analyzing and possibly contributing to the topic of motion of extended bodies in curved spacetimes. Particularly, we are interested in the swimming effect in curved spacetimes, by which an articulated, free extended body can propel itself through empty space by performing ciclic deformations. Although this effect already appears in the context of Newtonian gr…
The main goal of this project is providing the candidate with a solid understanding of General Relativity (GR). For this purpose, besides traditional texts on GR, we shall analyze specific topics which still cause confusion in the literature. Some of them are quasi-rigid bodies in GR, the appearance and definition of "hidden momentum" in relativistic systems, and the "swimming" effect in …
