This concise textbook introduces the reader to advanced
mathematical aspects of general relativity, covering topics like
Penrose diagrams, causality theory, singularity theorems, the
Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations, the positive mass
theorem, and the laws of black hole thermodynamics. It emerged from
lecture notes originally conceived for a one-semester course in
Mathematical Relativity which has been taught at the Instituto
Superior Tecnico (University of Lisbon, Portugal) since 2010 to
Masters and Doctorate students in Mathematics and Physics. Mostly
self-contained, and mathematically rigorous, this book can be
appealing to graduate students in Mathematics or Physics seeking
specialization in general relativity, geometry or partial
differential equations. Prerequisites include proficiency in
differential geometry and the basic principles of relativity.
Readers who are familiar with special relativity and have taken a
course either in Riemannian geometry (for students of Mathematics)
or in general relativity (for those in Physics) can benefit from
this book.
