Welcome to hyperspace@aei
Hyperspace@aei has been designed and developed to increase the exchange of information and foster the interaction among scientists working in general relativity and gravitation. It replaces the QMUL hyperspace service, which has been maintained for 20 years by Malcolm MacCallum using a service similar to the one at the University of British Columbia. The new site is edited by Luciano Rezzolla with support from the Max Planck Digital Library, and it is hosted at the Albert Einstein Institute (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) in Germany. This site is also sponsored by the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation (ISGRG).
Hyperspace@aei provides the opportunity to post announcements about conferences, job opportunities, and general news. All of this information can be easily accessed on the site (follow the links on the upper horizontal menu bar for a full list or browse through the most recent posts on the right sidebar) and is collected in the form of a bulletin which is sent to the hyperspace mailing list (which replaces MacCallum’s GRG list) at the beginning of each month; if you were already receiving the bulletin you will continue to do so via hyperspace@aei. In addition, the information in the bulletin is also stored in calendars and RSS feeds which can be browsed on the site but also imported for private use.
Announcements can be posted with simple online forms. Posts made by registered users are normally published immediately, while anonymous posts by non-registered users are moderated by the editor. Registering is simple and needs to be done only once using the contact form. Via a registration you can provide information about you (e.g. affiliation, email address, personal webpage, interests, etc.), and enjoy all the potential of hyperspace@aei for the exchange of information on general relativity and gravitation.
Hyperspace@aei can also serve as a repository of scientific and publicly available numerical codes, Mathematica notebooks, Maple worksheets, or any other well-validated software that can help the research on general relativity and gravitation. These codes/scripts can either be linked to the site to or uploaded (this functionality will soon be made operative).
Last but surely not least, hyperspace@aei is built as a dynamical object, which can and will be modified to best suit the needs of the scientists working in general relativity and gravitation. If you think there are ways to improve and expand hyperspace@aei, make sure you let us know!
