SCGP-2019
SCGP Convergence and Low Regularity in General Relativity
April 29 - May 3, 2019
Organized by: Philippe LeFloch, Jeff Jauregui, Mike Anderson, Christina Sormani

To truly address the many open questions that persist in Mathematical General Relativity, one cannot restrict oneself to smooth metrics and strong notions of convergence. One must apply Lebesgue, Sobolev, Sormani-Wenger Intrinsic Flat, and possibly Gromov-Hausdorff convergence to handle sequences of manifolds that naturally arise when studying notions of mass. These weak notions of convergence and perhaps others are needed to rigorously define stability and almost rigidity in both Riemannian and Lorentzian General Relativity. It has become increasingly important to define low regularity metrics and explicitly describe how they may be considered as having nonnegative scalar curvature, or more generally satisfying Einstein’s Equation or the Constraint Equations. This workshop brings together geometers with results on convergence in low regularity with geometric analysts specializing in low regularity general relativity.
Schedule below and on the Official Website: http://scgp.stonybrook.edu/archives/25455
Note that all talks will be held in rooms with sliding blackboards and so everyone is encouraged to give blackboard talks. Projector talks are fine as well.
