DESCRIPTION:We will discuss the relation between perturbative gauge theory
  and perturbative gravity\, and look at how this relation extends to some 
 exact classical solutions. First\, we will review the double copy prescrip
 tion that takes gauge theory amplitudes into gravity amplitudes\, which ha
 s been crucial to progress in perturbative studies of supergravity. Then\,
  we will see that the self-dual sectors provide an important insight into 
 the relation between the theories. A key role is played by a kinematic alg
 ebraic structure mirroring the colour structure. Finally\, we will see how
  these ideas extend to some exact classical solutions\, namely black holes
  and plane waves. This leads to a relation of the type Schwarzschild as Co
 ulomb charge squared.
