Abstract

These lectures concern the stability of black holes, which are certain Lorentzian manifolds solving Einstein’s equation—the first lecture will mostly discuss what these black holes are and what stability means. These notes follow the general structure of the actual lectures, with Sections 1–5 comprising the first lecture, while the rest covers the second, more technical, lecture as well as various extensions.
