Surprising Impacts of Gravity Waves
Symplectic geometry, and its close relative contact geometry, are geometries closely tied to complex geometry, smooth topology, and mathematical physics. The h-principle is a general method used for construction of smooth geometric objects satisfying various underdetermined properties. In the symplectic context, h-principles typically give constructions of surprising exotica, and methods for detecting the basic flexible objects. We survey a number of results from the previous decade.
Due to its importance in materials science where it models the slow relaxation of grain boundaries, multiphase mean curvature flow has received a lot of attention over the last decades.
I will discuss an upcoming result proving the full finite-codimension non-linear asymptotic stability of the Schwarzschild family as solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations in the exterior of the black hole region.
No symmetry is assumed. The work is based on our previous understanding of linear stability of Schwarzschild in double null gauge. Joint work with G. Holzegel, I. Rodnianski and M. Taylor.
In this talk I will describe a topological approach to some problems about algebraic functions due to Klein and Hilbert. As a sample application of these methods, I will explain the solution to the following problem of Felix Klein: Let $\Phi_{g,n}$ be the algebraic function that assigns to a (principally polarized) abelian variety its $n$-torsion points. What is the minimal $d$ such that, after a rational change of variables, $\Phi_{g,n}$ can be written as an algebraic function of $d$ variables? This is joint work with Mark Kisin and Jesse Wolfson.

This workshop will focus on quantum aspects of black holes, focusing on applying ideas from quantum information theory.
This meeting is sponsored by the "It from Qubit"collaboration and is followed by the collaboration meeting in New York City.
