On the non-existence of trapped surfaces under low-regularity bounds

Jonathan Luk, Georgios Moschidis

The emergence of trapped surfaces in solutions to the Einstein field equations is intimately tied to the well-posedness properties of the corresponding Cauchy problem in the low re…

A scattering theory approach to Cauchy horizon instability and applications to mass inflation

Jonathan Luk, Sung-Jin Oh, Yakov Shlapentokh-Rothman

Motivated by the strong cosmic censorship conjecture, we study the linear scalar wave equation in the interior of subextremal strictly charged Reissner-Nordström black holes by ana…

Phase mixing for solutions to 1D transport equation in a confining potential

Sanchit Chaturvedi, Jonathan Luk

Consider the linear transport equation in D under an external confining potential : \begin{equation*} \partial_t f + v \partial_x f - \partial_x Φ\partial_v f = 0. \end{equat…

Global nonlinear stability of large dispersive solutions to the Einstein equations

Jonathan Luk, Sung-Jin Oh

We extend the monumental result of Christodoulou-Klainerman on the global nonlinear stability of the Minkowski spacetime to the global nonlinear stability of a class of large dispe…
