This textbook gradually introduces the reader to several topics
related to black hole physics with a didactic approach. It starts
with the most basic black hole solution, the Schwarzschild metric,
and discusses the basic classical properties of black hole
solutions as seen by different probes. Then it reviews various
theorems about black hole properties as solutions to Einstein
gravity coupled to matter fields, conserved charges associated with
black holes, and laws of black hole thermodynamics. Next, it
elucidates semiclassical and quantum aspects of black holes, which
are relevant in ongoing and future research. The book is enriched
with many exercises and solutions to assist in the learning. The
textbook is designed for physics graduate students who want to
start their research career in the field of black holes; postdocs
who recently changed their research focus towards black holes and
want to get up-to-date on recent and current research topics;
advanced researchers intending to teach (or learn) basic and
advanced aspects of black hole physics and the associated
mathematical tools. Besides general relativity, the reader needs to
be familiar with standard undergraduate physics, like
thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics.
Moreover, familiarity with basic quantum field theory in Minkowski
space is assumed. The book covers the rest of the needed background
material in the main text or the appendices.
