The School is dedicated to the observational, theoretical and also epistemological aspects of Black Hole physics and aims at doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers.
It will cover the following topics: tentative definition of a Black Hole, observational evidence and possible alternative explanations for Black Holes, formation of Black Holes, global structure and causality of Black Hole spacetimes, rigorous definition of a Black Hole, singularity theorems, uniqueness of Black Hole solutions (no-hair theorems), stability properties, Black Holes in generalised theories of gravity, modelling Black Holes in analog-gravity models, quantum fields in Black Hole-spacetimes, Black Holes in quantum gravity proper, epistemological and philosophical aspects of Black Holes.
Contributed posters by the participants are welcome.
