  Syllabus
 

 
Gravity: from IR to UV
 
This course covers advanced topics in gravity ranging from the deep infrared (long distance / low energy) to the ultraviolet (short distance / high energy). Focusing on spacetimes with flat asymptotics we will explore recent developments in quantum gravity, holography and the physics of black holes.
 
* Part I: Gravity in the IR
- Flat space primer
- Symmetries
- Soft S-matrix
- Celestial CFT
- Towards flat space holography
 
* Intermezzo: from IR to UV
 
* Part II: Gravity in the UV
- Black holes
- Strings
- Black hole/string correspondence:
  a) static
  b) rotating
