The aim is to give a pedagogical introduction to AdS-CFT emphasising the GR and geometrical aspects of it. Description of how the conjecture relates certain field theories (CFTs) to certain quantum gravitational theories in asymptotically Anti-deSitter (AdS) spacetimes. Discussion about why this is interesting, and why the conjecture should be taken seriously. Focus on the explicit map between the

It will be given an introduction to the cosmic censorship conjectures (both weak and strong) in
classical general relativity and related issues concerning the structure of spacetime singularities.
The collapse of self gravitating matter under spherical symmetry will provide an elementary setting for understanding many of the issues involved. The course will review basic material (initial value pr
