Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal is to discuss geometric properties of some of the famous black hole solutions of general relativity. Depending on the prerequisites of the participants, we may start with a discussion of elements of differential geometry, Maxwell's theory, and special relativity. One important aspect will be to discuss differences between mathematics and physics regarding notation and level of rigor.

Assessment and permitted materials
