- Black Holes - Observational evidence for black holes, and some developments involving cosmic censorship and the statistical origin of black hole entropy. Reviews of Modern Physics. (Published 1998.08.12)
- Black Holes and Naked Singularities - This article gives an elementary review of gravitational collapse and the cosmic censorship hypothesis. Known models of collapse resulting in the formation of black holes and naked singularities are summarized. (Published 1998.05.18)
- Black Holes: A general introduction - This article presents in a pictorial way the basic concepts of black hole's theory, as well as a description of the astronomical sites where black holes are suspected to lie. (Published 1998.01.26)
- Developments in General Relativity: Black Hole Singularity and Beyond - Presentation also addresses the questions: "Can we see inside a black hole?" and "Can a falling observer cross the singularity without being crushed?" (Published 2003.04.14)
- Higher Dimensional Chern-Simons Theories and Topological Black Holes - It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. In this paper, a brief summary of these new black holes is given. (Published 1998.02.28)
- Introduction to Black Hole Microscopy - The aim of these notes is both to review the standard understanding of the Hawking effect. The fundamentals of the Unruh effect are reviewed, and then the Hawking effect is explained as a ``gravitational Unruh effect". (Published 1995.10.06)
