Complex Analysis and Dynamical Systems IV: Part 2. General Relativity, Geometry, and PDE Fourth International Conference on Complex Analysis and Dynamical ... Israel, Isra

The 18 papers contained in the second volume from the May 2009 conference investigate differentiable dynamical systems and functions of complex variables. The first two chapters survey recent results on multiplicity-free representations of compact Lie groups and the existence and properties of marginally outer trapped surfaces. Other topics include the stationary n-body problem in general relativity, asymptotic gluing of asymptotically hyperbolic vacuum initial data sets, the global geometry of spacetimes with toroidal or hyperbolic symmetry, and rates of decay for structural damped models with coefficients strictly increasing in time.
