These proceedings contain lecture notes on computer algebra, cosmological models, quantum cosmology, and black hole physics. Several research articles which cover different aspects of classical cosmology, exact solutions to Einstein's equations, and quantum field theory are also included.
Part 1 Plenary lectures: computer algebra and applications in relativity and gravity, M.A.H. MacCallum; cosmological models without initial singularities, J.M.M. Senovilla; quantum cosmology lectures, D.A. Page; introduction to black hole microscopy, T.A. Jacobson. Part 2 Invited lectures: conceptual developments deriving from eternal inflation, Y. Ne'eman; Riemann-Cartan structure of the spatial Yang-Mills equations, E.W. Mielke et al; degeneracy of resonances and singularities of the hypercomplex energy surfaces, A. Mondragon and E. Hernandez; exotic smoothness structures in physics, C.H. Brans; nontrivial fermion states in supersymmetric minisuperspace, A. Csordas and R. Graham; overview of inhomogeneous cosmological models, A. Krasinski; spin 3/2 fields non-minimal coupling from linearized gravity, O. Obregon et al; and other papers. (Part contents).
