Vortrag
The Black Hole Stability Problem
Dr. Gustav Holzegel (Imperial College London)
13.10.2014, 14:30 Uhr – 15:30 Uhr

A fundamental open problem in general relativity is to establish the non-linear stability of the Kerr-family of black holes. After discussing the definitive decay results obtained in the context of the free scalar wave equation on Kerr-spacetimes (and the mechanisms that underly them) I will outline our recent proof of the linear stability of the Schwarzschild solution under gravitational perturbations. The latter is joint work with Dafermos and Rodnianski.
