The theory of black holes and relativistic stars in general relativity was largely developed during the period from the mid 1960's to the mid 1970's. However, in recent years many important, new developments in this area have occurred as a result of a number of independent lines of research. These lines of investigation include: (1) Research associated with the `Grand Challenge` effort to study the details of black hole collisions by numerical techniques. (2) Analyses of the potential ability of LIGO and other gravitational wave detectors to probe detailed properties of black holes and neutron stars. (3) New evidence from the Hubble Space Telescope and other observations for the presence of black holes. (4) Theoretical analyses of the internal structure of black holes, which suggest that the `inner horizon` occurring in idealized models of black holes may become a null singularity of a relatively mild type for realistic black holes. (5) Further analyses of the Hawking effect and its analog in 2-dimensional theories, particularly with regard to the issue of whether purity of states is restored in the black hole evaporation process. (6) Numerous investigations in the contexts of classical general relativity, semiclassical gravity, quantum gravity, and string theory regarding the nature and origin of black hole entropy. To discuss these recent developments, a Symposium on `Black Holes and Relativistic Stars` will be held on the University of Chicago Campus on the weekend of December 14 and 15, 1996 (just prior to the Texas Symposium, also to be held in Chicago). The Symposium will consist entirely of two days of plenary lectures of approximately one hour duration each by V. Ferrari, J. Friedman, J. Hartle, S.W. Hawking, W. Israel, R. Penrose, M. Rees, R. Sorkin, S. Teukolsky, K. Thorne, R. Wald, and E. Witten. The Symposium will be dedicated to the memory of S. Chandrasekhar.

广义相对论中的黑洞和相对论恒星理论在20世纪60年代中期的S和70年代中期的S期间得到了很大的发展。然而，近年来这一领域的许多重要的新发展作为一些独立的研究方向的结果而出现。这些研究方向包括：(1)与“大挑战”计划有关的研究，通过数值技术研究黑洞碰撞的细节。(2)分析了LIGO和其他引力波探测器探测黑洞和中子星详细性质的潜在能力。(3)哈勃太空望远镜和其他观测到的黑洞存在的新证据。(4)对黑洞内部结构的理论分析，认为黑洞理想化模型中的“内视界”对于现实黑洞来说可能成为相对温和类型的零奇点。(5)进一步分析了霍金效应及其在二维理论中的类似性，特别是关于黑洞蒸发过程中是否恢复态的纯洁性的问题。(6)在经典广义相对论、半经典引力、量子引力和弦理论的背景下，关于黑洞熵的性质和起源的大量研究。为了讨论这些最新进展，芝加哥大学将于1996年12月14日和15日周末(也将在芝加哥举行的德克萨斯研讨会的前夕)举行一个关于“黑洞和相对论恒星”的研讨会。研讨会将由V.Ferrari、J.Friedman、J.Hartle、S.W.霍金、W.伊斯雷尔、R.彭罗斯、M.Rees、R.Sorkin、S.Teukolsky、K.Thorne、R.Wald和E.Witten进行为期两天的全会演讲，每次演讲时长约一小时。研讨会将致力于纪念S.Chandrasekhar。
