Acquisition and understanding of the theoretical structures at the foundation of General Relativity, in its meaning geometric and as a self-interacting theory for a zero-mass field of spin 2. Connection of the theory with aspects of current research through the illustration of some remarkable solutions of Einstein's equations, in perturbative regimes and non-disruptive.
