Richard Brito, Vitor Cardoso, Paolo Pani Superradiance New Frontiers in Black Hole Series: Lecture Notes in Physics

Gives a comprehensive picture of superluminous sources in special and general relativity. Details important applications in dark matter searches and in physics beyond the standard model. Provides a comprehensive timeline of black-hole physics. This book focuses on one mechanism in black hole physics which has proven to be universal, multifaceted and with a rich phenomenology: rotational superradiance. This is an extraction process, whereby black holes can deposit their rotational energy in their surroundings, leading to Penrose processes, black-hole bombs, and even . Black holes are key players in star formation mechanisms and as engines to some of the most violent events in our universe. Their simplicity and compactness make them perfect laboratories, ideally suited to probe new fields or modifications to the theory of gravity. Thus, 2nd ed. 2020, XXI, 293 p. 100 illus., 68 black holes can also be used to probe some of the most important open problems in physics, illus. in color. including the nature of dark matter or the strong CP problem in particle physics. This monograph is directed to researchers and graduate students and provides a unified view of the Printed book subject, covering the theoretical machinery, experimental efforts in the laboratory, and Softcover searches.
