Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The seminar mainly addresses 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, focusing 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

Successful presentation of a talk and participation in the discussions.

Examination topics

Depend on the topic of the individual talks.

Reading list

he main source for the seminar will be the book "Semi-Riemannian Geometry. With Applications to Relativity" by B. O'Neill, Academic Press, 1983. For individual talks several other sources will be relevant, this will be discussed individually.
