Title：Introduction to Geometric Analysis of hyperbolic PDEs

Speaker : Prof. Serge  Alinhac  ( Université de Paris Sud )

Abstract : This course will provide an introduction into the recent developments of nonlinear hyperbolic equations, following Christodoulou, Klainerman, Rodnianski, etc.  Emphasis will be put on geometric tools used in the study of quasilinear wave equations or Einstein equations : metrics,  connexions, energy-momentum tensors, null frames, curvature, etc. Some basic PDE knowledge is required linear wave equation, energy inequality, but no geometric knowledge , since the concepts will be introduced and explained progressively.
