Advanced Lectures on General Relativity
read the original abstract
These lecture notes are intended for starting PhD students in theoretical physics who have a working knowledge of General Relativity. The 4 topics covered are (1) Surface charges as conserved quantities in theories of gravity; (2) Classical and holographic features of three-dimensional Einstein gravity; (3) Asymptotically flat spacetimes in 4 dimensions: BMS group and memory effects; (4) 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.

Particle detector in a position-superposed black hole spacetime
An Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a position-superposed BTZ black hole produces outcome probabilities containing a nonclassical contribution that distinguishes quantum superposition from classical mixtures, ar...

The BEF Symplectic Form: A Lagrangian Perspective
The BEF symplectic form is derived from L∞-Lagrangians via covariant phase space methods and coincides with the Barnich-Brandt form for second-order equations of motion.

The asymptotic charges of Curtright dual graviton and Curtright extensions of BMS algebra
The asymptotic charges of the Curtright dual graviton in D=5 split into scalar, vector, and TT sectors that close into an abelian extension of a BMS-like algebra when the vector parameter is restricted to o(4).
