  • General

  • Course Materials

    • These are the course lecture notes. They will be updated as the course progresses. 

      If you see any typos, or have confusions please email me. 

    • Problem sheet 1. Topics include Lie Derivative, Cold stars, null geodesics and Penrose diagrams
    • Problem sheet 2. Contains computations on the Kerr black hole, Komar integrals and sketching manifolds from a given metric.
    • Problem sheet 3. Surface gravity, Killing tensors, supercharging a Reissner--Nordstrom black hole.
    • Entropy
    • These are some old lecture notes from previous years. There is some overlap between the two courses but also some material which is new in the current course. Feel free to make use of these if you want.
