Reading Recommendations for Studying Warp Drives

 Hello All, I have received dozens of emails in the past months asking me for what essentially amounts to a warp drive course curriculum.  This post contains a list of background reading I would recommend for those interested in studying and researching warp drives. Many technical topics have contributed to my research in this area so far, but I will narrow my selection to those that were the most useful in the research that led to  Breaking the Warp Barrier  (also at https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.07125v2 ). These works are written at or above the level of upper undergraduate studies in physics or mathematics. Some of the text books are expensive, but may be available at your local library or through an inter-library loan (WorldCat links  provided). Where available, links to freely available pre-prints are provided in addition to journal links for research articles. I may expand on this list at a later date as my work in this area expands.
