Black Hole Information and Thermodynamics Paperback / softback
by Dieter Lust, Ward Vleeshouwers
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Based on Prof. Lüst's Masters course at the University of Munich, this book begins with a short introduction to general relativity.
It then presents black hole solutions, and discusses Penrose diagrams, black hole thermodynamics and entropy, the Unruh effect, Hawking radiation, the black hole information problem, black holes in supergravity and string theory, the black hole microstate counting in string theory, asymptotic symmetries in general relativity, and a particular quantum model for black holes.
The book offers an up-to-date summary of all the pertinent questions in this highly active field of physics, and is ideal reading for graduate students and young researchers.
