The seminar will be held online on Thurdays 15:00-16:30. If you are interested in participating, please inscribe yourself for the course on moodle and contact the organizers via mail to Andreas.Cap@univie.ac.at , also indicating your background relevant for the seminar. We hope to schedule the first few talks soon so that we can have the first talk on October 8.

Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
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.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Sucessful presentation of a talk and participation in the discusssions.
Examination topics
Depend on the topic of the individual talks.
Reading list
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.
