This volume collects together summaries of work on a modern theory
of black holes in terms of local notions, covering fields as
diverse as classical and numerical general relativity, differential
geometry, thermodynamics, quantum field theory, and quantum
gravity. Existing textbooks define a black hole by an event
horizon. However, its teleological nature means that it is
epistemologically unsound, empirically unverifiable, even
theoretically impractical and not directly related to local
physics. The last decade or so has seen increasing evidence that
more local notions are more useful and have understandable
associated physics. There is heretofore no one volume which covers
all the main aspects, hence the timeliness of this attempt. Each
chapter is written by an expert or experts on a particular topic.
It is intended for anyone interested in black holes, as a reference
for the many applications and issues.
