Seminar on differential geometry: Black hole uniqueness theorems
Seminar Description:The seminar will focus on the study of vacuum solutions of Einstein’sequations of gravity. These include the solutions found by Schwarzschild(1915) and Kerr (1963) which are interpreted as static and rotating blackholes, respectively. We will see how these can be found systematicallyfrom suitable symmetry assumptions and boundary conditions.The topics for the talks by the participants will be presented and dis-tributed on the first session of the seminar.
Prerequisites:Foundations of differential geometry will be assumed, including differen-tiable manifolds, submanifolds, Frobenius integrability, tensor fields, con-nections, curvature, pseudo-Riemannian metrics, Killing fields etc.
