This Thesis deals with recent progress regarding singularities in General Relativity. Singularities are predicted by the theory, but raise difficult problems, because they make the usual equations to be plagued with infinities and to break down. To resolve some of these problems, extensions of differential geometry and of Einstein's equation to singularities were needed, and were constructed by the author. This generalization works easily at the Big-Bang singularity, which gained by this a description in terms of finite quantities which have both geometric and physical meaning. Moreover, a large class of Big-Bang singularities which are not necessarily homogeneous or isotropic is presented. In addition, these singularities satisfy the Weyl curvature hypothesis, emitted by Penrose to explain the arrow of time. The black hole singularities apparently are more difficult to deal with, but by applying a special procedure they turn out as well to admit a description in terms of finite quantities. In addition, these singularities exhibit a (geo)metric dimensional reduction, which might act as a regulator for the quantum fields, including for quantum gravity, in the high-energy limit. This opens the perspective of perturbative quantum gravity without modifying General Relativity.

Surveying key developments and open issues in cosmology for graduate students and researchers, this book focuses on the general concepts and relations that underpin the standard model of the Universe. It also examines anisotropic and inhomogeneous models, and deeper issues, such as quantum cosmology and the multiverse proposal.

The different possible singularities are defined and the mathematical methods needed to extend the space-time are described in detail in this book. Results obtained (many appearing here for the first time) show that singularities are associated with a lack of smoothness in the Riemann tensor.

Why did Einstein tirelessly study unified field theory for more than thirty years? In this book, the author argues that Einstein believed he could find a unified theory of all of nature's forces by repeating the methods he thought he had used when he formulated general relativity. The book discusses Einstein's route to the general theory of relativity, focusing on the philosophical lessons that he learnt. It then addresses his quest for a unified theory for electromagnetism and gravity, discussing in detail his efforts with Kaluza-Klein and, surprisingly, the theory of spinors. From these perspectives, Einstein's critical stance towards the quantum theory comes to stand in a new light. This book will be of interest to physicists, historians and philosophers of science.

A precise yet simple introduction to the foundations and main consequences of General Relativity. The first five chapters from Choquet-Bruhat's General Relativity and the Einstein Equations (2008) have been updated with new sections and chapters on black holes, gravitational waves, singularities and more to form this textbook.
