Informal Reading Seminar on General Relativity
We meet on Mondays from 2:40pm to 4pm in room 528 to go over lecture notes in Hyperbolic PDEs and General Relativity and present recent interesting preprints.
- September 16, 2024: Mark will present the first two sections of Jonathan Luk's lecture notes
- September 23, 2024: Ethan will present the third section of Jonathan Luk's lecture notes and Jingbo will talk about "Regularity of the Future Event Horizon in Perturbations of Kerr".
In this talk, I will begin by reviewing some basic concepts in GR, with a particular focus on the frames used in Giorgi-Klainerman-Szeftel-Shen’s Kerr stability result, as well as the geometry of null hypersurfaces. After covering these preliminaries, I will provide an overview of the goals and key strategies of the paper "Regularity of the Future Event Horizon in Perturbations of Kerr". This talk is designed to help those interested in the paper to easily follow and explore it further on their own.
- September 30, 2024: Ethan will continue presenting the third section of Jonathan Luk's lecture notes and Jingbo will continue talking about "Regularity of the Future Event Horizon in Perturbations of Kerr".
- October 7, 2024: Mark will present the fifth section of Jonathan Luk's lecture notes and Jingbo will continue talking about "Regularity of the Future Event Horizon in Perturbations of Kerr".
- October 14, 2024: Ethan will present the sixth section of Jonathan Luk's lecture notes
- October 21, 2024: Dawei will talk about formation of trapped surfaces.
- October 28, 2024: Dawei will continue talking about formation of trapped surfaces.
- November 11, 2024: Dawei will finish talking about formation of trapped surfaces.
- November 18, 2024: Mark will continue covering Jonathan Luk's lectures.
