Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University
Fundamental aspects of black holes have been actively studied so far to unravel the mystery of black holes and to achieve new physics like the quantum theory of gravity. Black holes are the simplest astrophysical objects in the Universe as each black hole can be characterized by a few parameters only in general relativity. For this reason, they are regarded as the best sites to probe new physics.
Given the recent developments in observational and theoretical progress in black hole physics, it is important for theoretical physicists to discuss how we can unravel the mysteries of black holes, probe new physics, and test existing theories from both fundamental and observational points of view.
This workshop aims to bring together experts working on astrophysical and fundamental aspects of black holes to share ideas and expertise and to offer introductory talks to learn relevant state-of-the-art knowledge.
