Titles and Abstracts Courses Classical and Quantum Waves on Black Hole Backgrounds P. Blue (Max Planck Glom), D. Häfner (Bordeaux), J. P. Nicolas (Brest) and S. De Bièvre (Lille) In this course, three aspects of black hole physics will be discussed: two concern classical waves, namely superradiance (J.P. Nicolas and S. De Bièvre) and local decay and stability (P. Blue), whereas the third one, the Hawking effect (D. Häfner) is of quantum nature. It arises when a star collapses to a (rotating) black hole. The courses will be on the upper graduate or post-doctoral level and, to be enjoyed, will require no more than the basic notions of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry, a certain familiarity with quantum mechanics, a taste for analysis, and a definite passion for mathematical physics.
