BLACK HOLES II (136.029)

Summer semester 14 Location: FH HS 4

Time: 9:00-11:00 each Tuesday (starting March 5) Summary:

Black holes have advanced to the forefront of current research in various disciplines: besides the obvious ones, general relativity, mathematical physics and astrophysics, also string theory, quantum chromodynamics, cosmology, computational physics, quantum gravity and even part of condensed matter physics devote a significant fraction of their resources to the study of black holes. It is thus both a fascinating and timely subject to investigate.

The main purpose of this lecture is a treatment of advanced topics and current research topics in black hole physics.

Contents:

Global structure of black holes: horizons and singularities Dimensionally reduced black holes I: 2D gravity

Action principle and asymptotic boundaries Dimensionally reduced black holes II: 3D gravity Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes BTZ black holes

Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions

Asymptotic symmetry algebras/Virasoro algebra

Holographic renormalization & Brown-York stress tensor Black holes in AdS space & Hawking-Page transition Gedankenexperiments and black hole thermodynamics

Hawking effect, black hole evaporation and information paradox Quantum gravity

… and possibly further research topics of current interest
