Geometry and Topology Seminar: Kai-Wei Zhao, University of Notre Dame, On the blowup of regularized solutions to the Jang equation and constant expansion surfaces

SAS 1216

Schoen-Yau proved the spacetime positive energy theorem by reducing it to the time-symmetric (Riemannian) case using the Jang equation. To acquire solutions to the Jang equation, they introduced a family of regularized equations and took the limit of regularized solutions,…
