Black holes in general relativity
What is going on (as of August 2008) at the interface between theoretical general relativity, stringinspired models, and observational astrophysics? Quite a lot. In this mini-survey I will make a personal choice and focus on four specific questions: Do black holes “exist”? (For selected values of the word “exist”.) Is black hole formation and evaporation unitary? Can one mimic a black hole to a...
متن کاملGravitational Waves and Black Holes An Introduction to General Relativity
In these lectures general relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves as well as stationary fields like those of black holes are discussed. Their properties are investigated by studying the geodesic structure of the corresponding space-times, as representing the motion of ...
متن کاملClassical Effective Field Theory and Caged black holes
Matched asymptotic expansion is a useful technique in General Relativity and other fields whenever interaction takes place between physics at two different length scales. Here matched asymptotic expansion is argued to be equivalent quite generally to Classical Effective Field Theory (ClEFT) where one (or more) of the zones is replaced by an effective theory whose terms are organized in order of...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
Bekenstein’s proposed bound on the total entropy of any system in a volume L3, S ≤ SBH ≡ πM 2 PL 2, suggests a radical breakdown of quantum field theory in large volume. Given the success of quantum field theory for describing particle physics, we conjecture a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs for which an effective field theory without quantum gravity should be a good description of Natur...
متن کاملFormation of Supermassive Black Holes: Simulations in General Relativity
There is compelling evidence that supermassive black holes exist. Yet the origin of these objects, or their seeds, is still unknown. We discuss several plausible scenarios for forming the seeds of supermassive black holes. These include the catastrophic collapse of supermassive stars, the collapse of relativistic clusters of collisionless particles or stars, the gravothermal evolution of dense ...
