These lecture notes are intended for starting PhD students in theoretical physics who have a working knowledge of General Relativity. The 4 topics covered are (1) Surface charges as conserved quantities in theories of gravity; (2) Classical and holographic features of three-dimensional Einstein gravity; (3) Asymptotically flat spacetimes in 4 dimensions: BMS group and memory effects; (4) The Kerr black hole: properties at extremality and quasi-normal mode ringing. Each topic starts with historical foundations and points to a few modern research directions.

  1. Particle detector in a position-superposed black hole spacetime

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    An Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a position-superposed BTZ black hole produces outcome probabilities containing a nonclassical contribution that distinguishes quantum superposition from classical mixtures, ar...

  2. The BEF Symplectic Form: A Lagrangian Perspective

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The BEF symplectic form is derived from L∞-Lagrangians via covariant phase space methods and coincides with the Barnich-Brandt form for second-order equations of motion.

  3. The asymptotic charges of Curtright dual graviton and Curtright extensions of BMS algebra

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The asymptotic charges of the Curtright dual graviton in D=5 split into scalar, vector, and TT sectors that close into an abelian extension of a BMS-like algebra when the vector parameter is restricted to o(4).

  4. Conserved charges and $L_\infty$ algebras

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A formula for conserved charges expressed solely via L_infinity algebra data for arbitrary Lagrangian theories, shown to recover the Brown-York surface charge in GR.

  5. Strings near BTZ black holes: A Carrollian Chronicle

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.

  6. Poincar\'e asymptotic expansion in black hole theory
