- The timeline is probably optimistic and there will be less time for advanced topics. If so, the Kerr-metric and Black Hole Thermodynamics will take precedence over other advanced topics.
- Week 1 - Review of Differential Geometry
- Week 2 - The Field Equations.
- Week 3 - Derivation of Schwarschild metric.
- Week 4 - Predictions of Schwarschild, r = 2GM surface.
- Week 5 - Black Holes.
- Week 6 - Cosmology - FLRW metric and predictions.
- Week 7 - Cosmology - Cosmology continued.
- Week 9 - Yang-Mills and General Relativity, Reissner Nordstrom.
- Weeks 10 and 11 - Perturbation theory.
- Weeks 11 and 12- Advanced topics (Kerr, Quantum field theory in curved spacetime, Cauchy problem).
- Problem Sheet 1.
- Problem Sheet 2 - due March 6th 2014
