Blow-up for solutions of hyperbolic PDE and spacetime singularities

Alan D. Rendall (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

An important question in mathematical relativity theory is that of the nature of spacetime singularities. The equations of general relativity, the Einstein equations, are essentially hyperbolic in nature and the study of spacetime singularities is naturally related to blow-up phenomena for nonlinear hyperbolic systems. These connections are explained and recent progress in applying the theory of hyperbolic equations in this field is presented. A direction which has turned out to be fruitful...

Polyhomogeneous solutions of wave equations in the radiation regime

Piotr T. Chruściel, Olivier Lengard (2000)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

While the physical properties of the gravitational field in the radiation regime are reasonably well understood, several mathematical questions remain unanswered. The question here is that of existence and properties of gravitational fields with asymptotic behavior compatible with existence of gravitational radiation. A framework to study those questions has been proposed by R. Penrose (R. Penrose, “Zero rest-mass fields including gravitation”, Proc. Roy. Soc. London A284 (1965), 159-203),...
