Singularities and Curvature in General Relativity

19 - 23 June 2023
Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Schedule

About

General Relativity is traditionally studied from an analysis/PDE, differential geometric, or physics perspective. Recently, new approaches to analyze nonsmooth Lorentzian structures have also emerged from geometric measure theory and optimal transport. This workshop brings together researchers from all these different research directions to discuss open problems and new tools. To facilitate maximal interaction two minicourses and several introductory/plenary talks are scheduled.

Minicourses

Andreas Bernig (Goethe University Frankfurt)
   - Curvature measures of singular spaces in the Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian setting
Yakov Shlapentokh-Rothman (University of Toronto)
   - Recent developments in Mathematical General Relativity

Invited speakers

Dmitry Faifman  (Tel Aviv University)
Nicola Gigli  (SISSA Trieste)
Gustav Holzegel  (University of Münster & Imperial College London)
