"Self-Similarity and Naked Singularities for the Einstein Vacuum Equations"

Time: 15:30

Room: MC107

We will start with an introduction to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture and the problem of constructing naked singularities for the Einstein vacuum equations. Then we will explain our discovery of a new type of self-similarity, and explain how this allows us to construct the desired naked singularity solutions.
