Black hole bombs and explosions: from astrophysics to particle physics
arXiv:1307.0038 · doi:10.1007/s10714-013-1584-z
Abstract
Black holes are the elementary particles of gravity, the final state of sufficiently massive stars and of energetic collisions. With a forty-year long history, black hole physics is a fully-blossomed field which promises to embrace several branches of theoretical physics. Here I review the main developments in highly dynamical black holes with an emphasis on high energy black hole collisions and probes of particle physics via superradiance. This write-up, rather than being a collection of well known results, is intended to highlight open issues and the most intriguing results.
22 pages. Write-up based on plenary talks at ERE -- Spanish-Portuguese Relativity meeting (Guimaraes, Portugal), Recent advances in numerical and analytical methods for black hole dynamics (YITP) and at Exploring AdS/CFT Dualities in Dynamical Settings (Perimeter Institute). Published version
