Quantum Black Holes [Paperback]

Written by foremost experts, this short book gives a clear description of the physics of quantum black holes. The reader will learn about quantum black holes in four and higher dimensions, primordial black holes, the production of black holes in high energy particle collisions, Hawking radiation, black holes in models of low scale quantum gravity and quantum gravitational aspects of black holes.

Introduction.- Black Holes in General Relativity.-?Hawking Radiation and Black Hole Evaporation.- Primordial Black Holes.-?Black Hole Formation in High Energy Particle Collisions.- Black Holes and Low Scale Quantum Gravity.- Conclusions.

From the reviews:

A small and great book! & the renowned authors  top experts in the field  give a fulminant review on the fascinating topic of Quantum Black Holes. & The book covers all these aspects in a well written and up-to-date way, is very understandable, and simultaneously at a high scientific level. It includes excellent illustrations and tables. Nobody interested in this fascinating topic, and not only specialized experts, should miss this book.
