This lecture is intended to provide the basic concepts of the large scale structure of black hole spacetimes, followed by several mathematical theorems concerning properties of stationary black holes in general relativity. The topics taken up with particular focus are the following:
1. Exact solutions,
2. Spacetime singularity,
3. Topology and symmetry of stationary black holes,
4. Stability of stationary black holes,
5. Black hole mechanics and the uniqueness theorem.
This lecture will cover some of the main theorems given in Chapter 8 and 9 of Hawking and Ellis’s text book with, in particular, providing recent generalizations of some of these theorems to higher dimensions.
