Speakers: Zhongkai Tao (University of California, Berkeley)Title: How to solve an undetermined PDE system?Abstract: I will discuss a new method to solve underdetermined PDE systems. The motivation comes from the constraint equation in general relativity, the scalar curvature equation in geometry, and the divergence equation in fluid mechanics. If time permits, I will discuss applications to the flexibility of initial data sets in general relativity. This talk is based on the joint work with Philip Isett, Yuchen Mao, and Sung-Jin Oh.
