SUMMARY:The wave equation in general relativity - Damon Civin (University 
 of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20120201T160000Z
DTEND:20120201T173000Z
UID:TALK35637@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Edward Mottram
DESCRIPTION:_In this talk I will motivate the study of the wave equation o
 n black hole spacetimes as a first step towards stability and instability 
 results for black holes._\n\n_The level of the talk will be introductory\,
  beginning with a (very brief and basic) discussion of Lorentzian geometry
 \, the Einstein Field Equations and the method of vector field multipliers
 ._\n\n_Thereafter I'll discuss my work on the linear stability of the  Ker
 r-Newman family of spacetimes in very broad strokes. Time permitting\, thi
 s will lead into the geometric microlocalisation of the problem._
