SUMMARY:The Global Nonlinear Stability of Minkowski Space in General Relat

DESCRIPTION:Given an initial data set for the vacuum Einstein equations wh
 ich is suitably close to that of Minkowski space\, the monumental work of 
 Christodoulou--Klainerman guarantees the corresponding solution exists glo
 bally and asymptotically approaches the Minkowski solution.  The aim of th
 e talk is to put this theorem in context\, emphasising the role played by 
 the null condition\, before briefly discussing what happens in the presenc
 e of matter.  The talk is aimed to be accessible to first year graduate st
 udents in analysis and will serve as an introduction to the mathematics of
  general relativity.
