SUMMARY:numerical relativity beyond astrophysics: new challenges and new d
 ynamics - Pau Figueras (Queen Mary University of London\; University of Ca
 mbridge)

DESCRIPTION:Motivated by more fundamental theories of gravity such as stri
 ng theory\, in recent years there has been a growing interesting in solvin
 g the Einstein equations numerically beyond the traditional astrophysical 
 set up. For instance in spacetime dimensions higher than the four that we 
 have observed\, or in exotic spaces such as anti-de Sitter spaces. In this
  talk I will give an overview of the challenges that are often encountered
  when solving the Einstein equations in these new settings. In the second 
 part of the talk I will provide some examples\, such as the dynamics of un
 stable black holes in higher dimensions and gravitational collapse in anti
 -de Sitter spaces.
