http://fy.chalmers.se/~marek/courses04/2005-black-holes/ LECTURER: Marek Abramowicz,   Professor of Astrophysics FIRST LECTURE: Monday, January 24, 15:15 room FL64 LECTURES: Mondays 15:15-17:00 (FL64) Wednesdays 10:00-12:00 (FL72) TEXT BOOK: R.M. Wald, General Relativity University of Chicago Press, 1984 Other useful books Knowledge of special relativity, electrodynamics and elementary quantum mechanics is assumed. The course is demanding and assumes serious effort. Small research problems could be given. Necessary mathematics is introduced gradually. Classical and quantum black hole physics is discussed, in particular important results by Hawking, Penrose and others in a very detailed way. Also in great detail stellar mass, supermassive and primodial black holes are discussed, in particular physics of black hole accretion disks and tori in application to quasars and X-ray sources in our Galaxy. EXAM: writen exam  ||   Course timetable  Supercomputer simulations of oscilations of a slender torus orbiting a rotating black hole. (From a recent work co-authored by the lecturer.)  Twenty exam questions 2004
