The mathematics of black holes: recent advances and conjectures for the future - (Lecture I: Black hole basics for mathematicians)
Speaker:
Mihalis Dafermos, Princeton University and University of Cambridge
Date and Time:
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 - 3:45pm to 4:45pm
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
I will introduce one of the main protagonists in general relativity–the Schwarzschild and Kerr family of black holes–and some of the basic mathematical questions we ask about them. The talk should be accessible without prior knowledge of the subject.
