Surface charges in gravitation -- Three dimensional Einstein's gravity -- Asymptotically flat spacetimes -- Rotating black holes
The four topics of the book covers:
-Surface charges as conserved quantities in theories of gravity;
-Classical and holographic features of three-dimensional Einstein gravity;
-Asymptotically flat spacetimes in four dimensions: BMS group and memory effects;
-The Kerr black hole: properties at extremality and quasi-normal mode ringing.
Each topic starts with historical foundations and points to a few modern research directions.
