Quantum Gravity

These notes are consequence of my self study.

I have been closely following the lectures by Prof. Maite lectures on PSAI website and the book by Gianluca Calcagni on Classical and Quantum Cosmology.

​

​

More lectures to be added..

Strong Field Gravity

These notes are consequence of my self study.

It covers Kerr Black Holes, Generalized Penrose Process, Superradiance and 3+1 decomposition of metric.

​

​

Will also be updated...

Weak Field Gravity & Higher Dimensions

These notes are consequence of my self study; and are mostly inspired from Prof. Ruth Gregory lectures on Gravitational Physics. Topics ranging from Cartans Formalism, Gibson-Hawking Term, Higher Dimensional Gravity and Beyond Einstein Gravity are covered in the notes.

Cosmology

These notes are consequence of my self study.

It covers FRW Spacetime, Friedmann equations, dynamics of scale factor, Era of dominations, Local thermal equilibrium, adiabatic expansion, freezing out, Thermal history of universe, Big bang nucleosynthesis.

Will also be updated...

Advanced General Relativity

These notes are consequence of my self study; and are meant to complement the book A Relativist's Toolkit by Prof. Eric Poisson. Most of the material is inspired from his lecture which was given at Perimeter Institute.

It covers Fundamentals of GR, Geodesic Congruences, Hypersurfaces, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Formulation of GR and Black Holes.

General Relativity

This is a kind of first course in General Relativity. Most of the content covered in these notes are inspired from lectures of Prof. Leonard Susskind on General Relativity. 

The topics covered are Equivalence Principle, Tensor Analysis, Curvature, Geodesics, Black Holes, Formation of Black Holes, Einsteins Equations and Gravitational Waves.

GRAVITY

From Newton to Einstein and Beyond.
