Abstract
Reviews by Kramer et al. (1980) and Tipler at al. (1980) of both the major areas involved in the workshop appeared about the time of the 9th Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR9) in Jena, giving a starting point for discussion of progress in the following three years. The workshop attracted more papers (86 final abstracts and 4 late papers) than any other at GR10 (Bertotti at al., 1983): of these 71 concerned exact solutions of Einstein’s equations, 26 of them being about solutions with two commuting Killing vectors, 10 concerned solutions of theories other than general relativity, and only 9 concerned topology or singularities. As far as I know, authors of only 47 of the papers actually attended GR10.
