Dear Colleague,

>From 14. to 17. January 2025 the Wolfgang-Pauli-Center for Theoretical Physics
in Hamburg will host the

WPC Masterclass by Edward Witten: Invitation to Black Hole Thermodynamics

Abstract:
Since the work of Bekenstein and Hawking over half a century ago, it has been
understood that although classically a black hole is a featureless object that
satisfies a ``no hair theorem'', quantum mechanically a black hole behaves as
a complex many-body system that obeys the laws of thermodynamics and 
statistical
mechanics. I will provide an introduction to some of the old and new ideas in
this subject, in which much is understood and much is not understood.

More detail concerning the schedule of lectures, accommodation and the online
registration form can be found onhttps://indico.desy.de/event/46572/

With best regards,
Volker Schomerus
