Speaker: Lars Andersson (Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) Title: Stability of spacetimes with supersymmetric compactifications Abstract: Spacetimes with compact directions, which have special holonomy such as Calabi-Yau spaces, play an important role in supergravity and string theory. In this talk I will discuss the global, non-linear stability for the vacuum Einstein equations on a spacetime which is a cartesian product […]
