Advanced Lectures on General Relativity

von Geoffrey Compère

140 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

These lecture notes are intended for starting PhD students in theoretical physics who have a working knowledge of General Relativity. The four topics covered are:

1. Surface charges as conserved quantities in theories of gravity;
   
2. Classical and holographic features of three-dimensional Einstein gravity;
   
3.  Asymptotically flat spacetimes in four dimensions: BMS group and memory effects;
   
4. The Kerr black hole: properties at extremality and quasi-normal mode ringing.
   

Each topic starts with historical foundations and points to a few modern research directions.
