Description
Black holes present one of the most fascinating predictions of Einstein's general relativity, with strong evidence of their existence through observations of many means. The book provides a wide background to the current research on all mathematical aspects of the geometry of black hole spacetimes.
Written with a high standard of rigor and care, with very good treatments of many topics that are hard to find elsewhere.
Including some very interesting and unique material, the book is written in a manner that will be accessible for students, and provide a valuable resource for experts working in mathematical general relativity.
This text is an excellent research level monograph exploring the detailed and rich structure of black holes in mathematical physics.
Univ. Prof. Dr. Piotr T. Chrusciel is Professor of Gravitational Physics and Head of the Gravitational Physics Group, Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, Austria.
