We provide some necessary details to several arguments appearing in our previous paper ``Canonical bases for quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebras''. We also make the link with some other work on the same subject.
This is the text of the invited talk I have given at the Karl Schwarzschild Meeting in Frankfurt in 2013.
An introduction to generalized thermodynamics of quantum black holes, in the one-loop approximation, is given. The material is aimed at graduate students. The topics include: quantum evaporation of black holes, Euclidean formulation of…

A response to criticism of the author's previous paper quant-ph/0002084.
We study the quantization of spherically symmetric vacuum spacetimes within loop quantum gravity. In particular, we give additional details about our previous work in which we showed that one could complete the quantization the model and…
We revisit Hawking's black hole radiation derivation, including the quantum state of the initial matter forming the black hole. We investigate how non-vacuum initial quantum states, at the past of a black hole geometry, influence the black…
It is not known what the limitations are on using quantum computation to speed up classical computation. An example would be the power to speed up PSPACE-complete computations. It is also not known what the limitations are on the duration…
A general formulation of the basic conflict of the information problem is given, encapsulated in a "black hole theorem." This is framed in a more general context than the usual one of quantum field theory on a background, and is based on…
We review recent developments in the treatment of spherically symmetric black holes in loop quantum gravity. In particular, we discuss an exact solution to the quantum constraints that represents a black hole and is free of singularities.…
This work is devoted to the study of some important questions in general relativity. They include topics related to astrophysical shock waves, impulsive signals, gravitational memory effect, black hole geometries and integrable systems…
I present an elementary primer of black hole physics, including its general relativity basis, all peppered with astrophysical illustrations. Following a brief review of the process stellar collapse to a black hole, I discuss the…
In a seminal work, Hawking showed that natural states for free quantum matter fields on classical spacetimes that solve the spherically symmetric vacuum Einstein equations are KMS states of non-vanishing temperature. Although Hawking's…
This review is based on lectures given at the 1992 Trieste Spring School on String Theory and Quantum Gravity and at the 1992 TASI Summer School in Boulder, Colorado.
We clarify a number of points raised in [Matias, arXiv:cond-mat/0507471v2 (2005)].
We discuss the recent model of a Quantum Mechanical Black Hole (QMBH) which describes the most fundamental known particles, the leptons and approximately the quarks in terms of the Kerr-Newman Black Hole with a naked singularity shielded by…
A renormalizable theory of quantum gravity coupled to a dilaton and conformal matter in two space-time dimensions is analyzed. The theory is shown to be exactly solvable classically. Included among the exact classical solutions are…
I report on recent progress in the exciting field of Numerical Relativity, with special attention to black hole horizons.
These are the lecture notes for an introductory course on black holes and some aspects of their interaction with the classical and quantum world. The focus is on phenomena of "fundamental physics" in the immediate surroundings of the black…
The quantum statistics of charged, extremal black holes is investigated beginning with the hypothesis that the quantum state is a functional on the space of closed three-geometries, with each black hole connected to an oppositely charged…
