Conformal Methods in General Relativity with application to Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: A minicourse given at the IXth IMLG Warsaw 2018
arXiv:2102.02701
Abstract
In these lectures my aim is to review enough of conformal differential geometry in four dimensions to give an account of Penrose's conformal cyclic geometry.
60 pages; this article represents the lectures as actually given, June 18th to 22nd, 2018
