Black Holes from A to Z
نویسنده
چکیده
These are the lecture notes from Professor Andrew Strominger’s Physics 211r: Black Holes from A to Z course given in Spring 2015, at Harvard University. It is the first half of a survey of black holes focusing on the deep puzzles they present concerning the relations between general relativity, quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. Topics include: causal structure, event horizons, Penrose diagrams, the Kerr geometry, the laws of black hole thermodynamics, Hawking radiation, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy/area law, the information puzzle, microstate counting and holography. Parallel issues for cosmological and de Sitter event horizons are also discussed. These notes are prepared by Yichen Shi, Prahar Mitra, and Alex Lupsasca, with all illustrations by Prahar Mitra.

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
متن کاملOn the Cosmological Evolution of Quasar Black-hole Masses
Virial black-hole mass estimates are presented for 12698 quasars in the redshift interval 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 2.1, based on modelling of spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) first data release . The black-hole masses of the SDSS quasars are found to lie between ≃ 10 M⊙ and an upper limit of ≃ 3 × 10 M⊙, entirely consistent with the largest black-hole masses found to date in the local Universe...
متن کاملHow Rapidly Do Supermassive Black Hole “seeds” Grow at Early Times?
We investigate the physical conditions for the growth of intermediate mass seed black holes assumed to have formed from remnants of the first generation of massive stars. We follow the collapse of high-σ halos with Tvir > 104 K using cosmological, smooth-particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations in the standard ΛCDM model. During collapse of the parent halo the seed holes are incorporated through...
متن کاملHigh-redshift supermassive black holes: accretion through cold flows
We use zoom-in techniques to re-simulate three high-redshift (z ≥ 5.5) haloes which host 109 M black holes from the ∼Gpc volume, MassiveBlack cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. We examine a number of factors potentially affecting supermassive black hole growth at high redshift in cosmological simulations. We find insignificant differences in the black hole accretion history by (i) varying th...
متن کاملThe mass function of high redshift seed black holes
In this paper we derive the mass function of seed black holes that result from the central mass concentrated via disc accretion in collapsed haloes at redshift z ≈ 15. Using standard arguments including stability, we show that these pre-galactic discs can assemble a significant mass concentration in the inner regions, providing fuel for the formation and initial growth of super-massive black ho...
