Singularities in General Relativity
One of the outstanding open mathematical problems in General Relativity is to understand how singularities form in solutions to the Einstein equations. Singularities are typically found in the interior of black holes or at the Big Bang. The main objective of this proposal is to start a research group at the University of Crete that will develop novel mathematical techniques, combining ingredients from analysis, partial differential equations, and differential geometry, which will enable us to prove the formation of singularities in various new settings and test long-standing conjectures in the field. Dynamics of Big Bang singularities. In vacuum, the generic cosmological singularity is…
