BLACK HOLES II (136.029)

Summer semester 12 Location: Thomas Schopper HS

Time: 13:30-15:45 each Monday (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 Critical collapse, quasi-normal modes and numerical relativity Dimensionally reduced black holes I: 2D gravity

Charged black holes and BPS solutions The four laws of black hole mechanics

Gedankenexperiments and black hole thermodynamics

Hawking effect, black hole evaporation and information paradox Black holes in AdS space & Hawking-Page transition

Holographic renormalization & Brown-York stress tensor Dimensionally reduced black holes II: 3D gravity

Black holes in string theory and AdS/CFT

Shear viscosity in relativistic heavy ion collisions

… and possibly further selected recent research topics like higher spin gravity
