Quasilocal mass for general domains in space

CMSA EVENTS: CMSA ACTIVE MATTER, CMSA EVENTS

When: May 14, 2024
12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Where: CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10
Address: 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
Speaker: Jue Liu - Harvard University

Diffeomorphism-invariant quasilocal mass in classical general relativity has been studied for decades, but it is still an open problem how to define quasi-local mass for general domains with multiple boundaries in space. Using the Hamiltonian formulation, we will provide a new way to define the nonnegative quasi-local mass, and give recent progress in overcoming the difficulties.


This seminar will be held in person and on Zoom.
