As the structures in our Universe are mapped out on ever larger
scales, and with increasing detail, the use of inhomogeneous models
is becoming an essential tool for analyzing and understanding them.
This book reviews a number of important developments in the
application of inhomogeneous solutions of Einstein's field
equations to cosmology. It shows how inhomogeneous models can be
employed to study the evolution of structures such as galaxy
clusters and galaxies with central black holes, and to account for
cosmological observations like supernovae dimming, the cosmic
microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations or the
dependence of the Hubble parameter on redshift within classical
general relativity. Whatever `dark matter' and `dark energy' turn
out to be, inhomogeneities exist on many scales and need to be
investigated with all appropriate methods. This book is of great
value to all astrophysicists and researchers working in cosmology,
from graduate students to academic researchers.
