DESCRIPTION:Ryan Unger (Princeton University)\nExtremal black holes are ex
 ceptional solutions of Einstein’s equations which have absolute zero tem
 perature in the thermodynamic analogy of black hole mechanics. In this tal
 k\, I will present a disproof of the “third law of black hole thermod
 ynamics” by showing that extremal black holes can form in the gravitatio
 nal collapse of charged matter. This has opened the door to studying a new
  critical phenomenon on the black hole formation threshold that we call 
 “extremal critical collapse.” This is joint work with Christoph Kehle 
 (ETH Zürich).\n
