SUMMARY:Stability and convergence issues in mathematical cosmology
DESCRIPTION:Member Seminar \nSpeaker: Puskar Mondal \nTitle: Stability and convergence issues in mathematical cosmology \nAbstract: The standard model of cosmology is built on the fact that while viewed on a sufficiently coarse-grained scale the portion of our universe that is accessible to observation appears to be spatially homogeneous and isotropic. Therefore this observed `homogeneity and isotropy’ of our universe is not known to be dynamically derived. In this talk\, I will present an interesting dynamical mechanism within the framework of the Einstein flow (including physically reasonable matter sources) which suggests that many closed manifolds that do not support homogeneous and isotropic metrics at all will nevertheless evolve to be asymptotically compatible with the observed approximate homogeneity and isotropy of the physical universe. This asymptotic spacetime is naturally isometric to the standard FLRW models of cosmology. In order to conclude to what extent the asymptotic state is physically realized\, one needs to study its stability properties. Therefore\, I will briefly discuss the stability issue and its consequences (e.g.\, structure formation\, etc).
