商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這些講義是為剛入學的理論物理博士生所準備,前提是他們對廣義相對論有基本的了解。涵蓋的四個主題為:
1. 表面電荷作為重力理論中的守恆量;
2. 三維愛因斯坦重力的經典與全息特徵;
3. 四維的漸近平坦時空:BMS 群與記憶效應;
4. 克爾黑洞:在極限狀態下的性質與準正常模式的振盪。

每個主題都以歷史基礎開始,並指向幾個現代研究方向。

作者簡介

Geoffrey Compère is a FNRS Research Associate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. His research, as a theoretical physicist, focuses on surface charges in gravitation, the physics of black holes close to extremality, supergravity and infinite-dimensional symmetries, topics on which he has authored over 50 papers. He developed the package SurfaceCharges for Mathematica which allows to compute surface charges in gravitation coupled to matter. He is the recipient of an ERC Starting Grant addressing the holographic properties of black holes. As a member of the LISA consortium and of the Belgian Gravitational Wave Center, he is currently developing waveform models to confront General Relativity with upcoming high-precision gravitational wave observations.

Geoffrey Compère 是比利時布魯塞爾自由大學的 FNRS 研究助理。他作為一名理論物理學家的研究重點是重力中的表面電荷、接近極限的黑洞物理、超重力以及無限維對稱等主題,並在這些領域發表了超過 50 篇論文。他開發了 Mathematica 的套件 SurfaceCharges,該套件可以計算與物質耦合的重力中的表面電荷。他是獲得 ERC 開始獎的研究者,該獎項針對黑洞的全息特性。作為 LISA 聯盟和比利時重力波中心的成員,他目前正在開發波形模型,以便將廣義相對論與即將到來的高精度重力波觀測進行對比。
