This award provides partial support for US participants in a session on mathematical relativity within an international conference entitled Complex Analysis and Dynamical Systems IV (CADS IV) to be held in Nahariya, Israel during May 2009. This is the first time that the CADS conferences have included a session this topic.
Einstein's equations have received renewed attention in recent years, in part due to connections between them and other geometric partial differential equations, and in part due to the emergence of powerful new techniques for such equations. The special session aims to gather specialists and junior researchers in mathematical relativity and geometric partial differential equations to discuss the wealth of problems and recent results in these areas, in order to promote new collaborations and further progress. The participation of graduate students, junior PhDs, and members of groups underrepresented in mathematics is particularly encouraged. For more information see the conference web site, http://conferences.braude.ac.il/math2009/.
