TeachingRelativistic Physics I — NTMF037
Relativistic Physics I — NTMF037Fall term, 4/2 (lecture/seminar hours per week)
A master-level course on exact solutions and applications of General Relativity, mainly taught by Oldřich Semerák; I contribute occasional lectures and prepare homework problems.
Topics covered include: the Schwarzschild, Reissner–Nordström, and Kerr spacetimes; gravitational collapse and black hole formation; stellar equilibrium; gravitational waves; and elements of Lagrangian GR.
The course is a follow-up to NTMF111 — General Theory of Relativity and is continued by Relativistic Physics II (NTMF038).
Relativistic Physics II — NTMF038
Relativistic Physics II — NTMF038Spring term, 4/2 (lecture/seminar hours per week)
A continuation of Relativistic Physics I, mainly taught by Oldřich Semerák, with my participation.
Topics covered include: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism in GR; the Cauchy problem; congruences of curves and the Raychaudhuri equation; 3+1 splitting of spacetime; causal structure and Penrose diagrams; and relativistic strings.
Classical and Quantum Chaos — NJSF031
Classical and Quantum Chaos — NJSF031For master and doctoral students; prerequisites: classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, basic programming.
A course taught jointly with Pavel Stránský. I teach the classical chaos part; Pavel Stránský covers the quantum chaos part. The course is hands-on, using Wolfram Mathematica throughout.
Lecture notes and Mathematica notebooks are available on GitHub.
