Relativistic fluid dynamics and electromagnetic media

In this thesis we describe fluid media with electromagnetic properties in the context of general relativity. Using the variational principle we derive the Einstein equations from the Einstein-Hilbert action, the Euler-Lagrange equations for a multicomponent fluid and the Maxwell equations. We provid...
