SCGP Spring School on Geometric Aspects of General Relativity
Thursday March 22 - Sunday March 25 official website
Organizers: Marcus Khuri, Demetre Kazaras, Christina Sormani
funded by the SCGP and Stony Brook Math Dept NSF RTG grant
Graduate students (and postdocs) with background in Riemannian Geometry are invited to attend this four day school introducing geometric aspects of Mathematical General Relativity. There will be introductory lectures on
* Asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature
* ADM mass and the Positive Mass Theorem
* Outermost Minimizing Surfaces and the Penrose Inequality
* Bartnik Mass
* Lorentzian Manifolds and Solving Einstein's Equations,
* Bondi Mass
* Constraint Equations, Initial Data sets and MOTS
* Constant Mean Curvature Foliations and Center of Mass
* Kerr Black Holes and Angular Momentum
Each topic will be taught independantly in a series of 1-2 lectures. Graduate students and postdocs were invited to apply for funding to attend this spring school here. The deadline is past.
We intend to cover all topics needed for those who wish to attend the SCGP Workshop on Mass in General Relativity the following week. (link to this workshop). We encourage but do not require everyone to stay through Monday March 26 as there will be giving a public lecture by Shing-Tung Yau at SCGP and other important lectures on Mass in GR on that date (link to Monday schedule).

Local Information
Stony Brook Campus Map. The Simons Center is at the upper right corner of square 4B, the train station is in square 2B, and the hotel is in square 4D.
LIRR train schedule. The Stony Brook train station is on campus, about a five minute walk from the Simon Center.
Today's menu at the Simons Center Cafe. The full lunch includes 3 salad choices and a main course for $15-$20. There is usually a sandwich of the day for around $12. Iced tea and some flavored waters are included; bottled drinks are sold separately.
Other campus dining at list of locations and menus for student and retail dining on campus. The SAC is closest. East side dining a food court in a brand new dormi behind the Staller Center for the Arts and seems pretty good. Jasmine in the Wang center is cafeteria style Asian and Indian food.
