Description
In this talk, I hope to describe elements of proving a certain stable singularity formation result for the Einstein—Euler system, which is the topic of work in progress with Jonathan Luk. I will first describe where this fits into the big picture of the study of multidimensional shocks, and why it is appropriate to call this a shock formation result. Then, I will try to describe some of the main ideas that go into proving shock formation results. Finally, I will try to describe some of the main difficulties that arise in the case of Einstein—Euler.
