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.
