The basic subjects and main topics covered by this book are: (1)
Physics of Black Holes (classical and quantum); (2) Thermodynamics,
entropy and internal dynamics; (3) Creation of particles and
evaporation; (4) Mini black holes; (5) Quantum mechanics of black
holes in curved spacetime; (6) The role of spin and torsion in the
black hole physics; (7) Equilibrium geometry and membrane paradigm;
(8) Black hole in string and superstring theory; (9) Strings,
quantum gravity and black holes; (10) The problem of singularity;
(11) Astrophysics of black holes; (12) Observational evidence of
black holes. The book reveals the deep connection between
gravitational, quantum and statistical physics and also the
importance of black hole behaviour in the very early universe. An
important new point discussed concerns the introduction of spin in
the physics of black holes, showing its central role when correctly
put into the Einstein equations through the geometric concept of
torsion, with the new concept of a time-temperature uncertainty
relation, minimal time, minimal entropy, quantization of entropy
and the connection of black hole with wormholes. Besides
theoretical aspects, the reader will also find observational
evidence for black holes in active galactic nuclei, in binary X-ray
sources and in supernova remnants. The book will thus interest
physicists, astronomers, and astrophysicists at different levels of
their career who specialize in classical properties, quantum
processes, statistical thermodynamics, numerical collapse,
observational evidence, general relativity and other related
problems.
