Formation of trapped surfaces for the spherically symmetric Einstein-Yang-Mills system with non-trivial incoming data

Nikolaos Athanasiou, Puskar Mondal, Shing-Tung Yau

We establish a trapped surface formation theorem for the spherically symmetric Einstein Yang Mills equations in a double-null gauge. The theorem concerns characteristic initial dat…

Volume Stability for Hyperbolic Manifolds and Applications to General Relativity

Puskar Mondal, Shing-Tung Yau

The paper proves that for closed hyperbolic 3‑manifolds, any sequence of metrics with scalar curvature ≥ −6 whose volumes approach the hyperbolic volume must converge in the C⁰ sen…

Semi-Global Existence and Trapped Surface Formation for the Einstein-Vlasov System

Nikolaos Athanasiou, Puskar Mondal, Shing-Tung Yau

In this article, we study the Einstein-Vlasov system for massless particles. Our main contribution is the provision of a novel method for controlling the Vlasov matter in a double…

Dynamical Formation of Black Holes due to Boundary Effect in Vacuum Gravity

Puskar Mondal, Shing-Tung Yau

We prove the dynamical formation of a marginally outer trapped surface in pure vacuum spacetime from smooth asymptotically flat Cauchy data which initially contain no MOTS. The mec…

A large data result for vacuum Einstein's equations

Puskar Mondal

We prove a global well-posedness and asymptotic convergence theorem for the \((3+1)\)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant \(Λ\) on globally h…

On a Rigidity Result in Positive Scalar Curvature Geometry

Puskar Mondal

I prove a scalar curvature rigidity theorem for spheres. In particular, I prove that geodesic balls of radii strictly less than in dimensional unit sph…
