Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein's general relativity. In recent years, ideas in brane-world cosmology, string theory and gauge/gravity duality have motivated studies of black holes in more than four dimensions, with surprising results. In higher dimensions, black holes exist with exotic shapes and unusual dynamics. Edited by leading expert Gary Horowitz, this exciting book is the first devoted to this new field. The major discoveries are explained by the people who made them: Rob Myers describes the Myers-Perry solutions that represent rotating black holes in higher dimensions; Ruth Gregory describes the Gregory-Laflamme instability of black strings; and Juan Maldacena introduces gauge/gravity duality, the remarkable correspondence that relates a gravitational theory to nongravitational physics. Accessible to anyone with a standard course in general relativity, this is an important resource for graduate students and researchers in general relativity, string theory and high energy physics.

‘D’autres rapporteront de Rome des tableaux, des marbres, des médailles, des productions d’histoire naturelle ; moi, j’en rapporterai des sentiments, des sensations et des idées’ . Le Voyage d’Italie du Président Dupaty, qui parut à l’automne 1788, fut le dernier best-seller de l’Ancien Régime. Son succès se trouva inévitablement éclipsé assez vite par une actualité politique devenue très envahissante. L’histoire littéraire a du coup quelque peu oublié que ce texte renouvelait, à la fin d’un siècle qui en avait publié beaucoup, la tradition des Voyage en Italie . Le Président De Brosses et ses émules s’étaient intéressés surtout à la collecte des antiques et à la critique d’art ; Dupaty s’inscrit à l’orée d’une génération dont le Grand Tour s’attarde inévitablement aux mêmes étapes mais se recentre désormais autour des émois des voyageurs eux-mêmes et de la résonance bien souvent pathétique des souvenirs historiques et des œuvres d’art rencontrés. L’Italie, qui se sera prêtée à toutes les projections, devient ainsi, dans quelques textes qui s’échelonnent autour du millésime 1800, une terre rêvée des âmes sensibles.
