Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The semiar mainly adresses mathematics students, who have background on analysis on manifolds (at least for the case of submanifolds of R^n). Fundamentals of Riemannian geometry will be helpful as background but are not required. Physics students, who are interested in the mathematical aspects of general relativity are very welcome to participate. Building on the mathematical background described above, the seminar will quickly develop several basic aspects of Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry. Then we will study fundamentals of special and general relativity. Combining the two topics, we will study space-times that describe black holes, focussing on the simplest case of the Schwarzschild solution.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Participants are expected to give one 90 minutes talk as part of the seminar and to actively participate in the discussions on the presentations of other students.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Sucessful presentation of a talk and participation in the discusssions.

Prüfungsstoff

Depend on the topic of the individual talks.

Literatur

The main source for the seminar will be the book "Semi-Riemannian Geometry. With Applictaions to Relativity" by B. O'Neill, Academic Press, 1983. For individual talks several other sources will be relavant, this will be discussed individually.
