The mathematics behind them has surprising geometric properties, and their dynamics is governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations. A basic question one may ask is whether these solutions to the Einstein equation are stable under small perturbations, which is a typical requirement to be physically meaningful. We illustrate the main conjectures regarding the stability problem of known black hole solutions and present some recent theorems regarding the fully nonlinear evolution of black holes in the case of vacuum and their interaction with matter fields.","PeriodicalId":9513,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44532520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tadmor","doi":"10.1090/bull/1793","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1090/bull/1793","url":null,"abstract":"We study the swarming behavior of hydrodynamic alignment. Alignment reflects steering toward a weighted average heading. We consider the class of so-called \u0000\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000\u0000-alignment hydrodynamics, based on \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 2\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000 2p\u0000 \u0000\u0000-Laplacians and weighted by a general family of symmetric communication kernels. The main new aspect here is the long-time emergence behavior for a general class of pressure tensors without a closure assumption, beyond the mere requirement that they form an energy dissipative process. We refer to such pressure laws as “entropic”, and prove the flocking of \u0000\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 p\u0000 \u0000\u0000-alignment hydrodynamics, driven by singular kernels with a general class of entropic pressure tensors.
