Speaker

Viqar Husain (University of New Brunswick)

Description

I will describe recent work on gravitational collapse of dust using effective equations.
Solutions of these equations exhibit formation of horizons, with a shock wave emerging as the horizons evaporate. The lifetime of a black hole turns out to be proportional to the square of its mass.
