Description

This talk reviews recent advances in mathematical general relativity on the stability and scattering problem for Kerr de Sitter spacetimes. It describes several results concerning the non-linear vacuum evolution of solutions to the Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant, near the rotating black hole solutions, and outlines some of the challenges for a non-linear theory of gravitational wave experiments in the presence of expansion.
