- Affiliation:
- Department of Mathematics, Chalmers University of Technology, S-41296 Göteborg, Sweden
- Research Interests:
- My research is in general relativity and I am interested in questions about spacetime singularities and cosmic censorship. The cosmic censorship conjecture was proposed by Roger Penrose in the sixties and the hypothesis is that spacetime singularities are always hidden within black holes and cannot be seen (i.e. there are no "naked singularities"). In my research I primarily work on global existence for solutions to Einstein's equations and in particular to the Einstein-Vlasov system where the matter is modelled by kinetic theory. A global existence theorem is the first step towards an understanding of cosmic censorship. I am also interested in kinetic equations in general (on a flat background spacetime) such as the Maxwell-Vlasov system, the Vlasov-Poisson system and the relativistic Boltzmann equation.

Currently, I am studying a variety of binary systems as sources for the space-based gravitational wave detector (LISA). In particular, I am looking at globular cluster populations of relativistic binaries, gravitationally lensed quasars, and supermassive black hole systems in the cores of galaxies. I also hope to begin studying isolated neutron stars as possible sources for ground based gravitational wave interferometers such as LIGO or Virgo. I am the chair of the Task Force on Galactic Binary Populations as part of Working Group 1 of the LISA International Science Team.

- Research Interests:
- My research so far has been related in various ways to the investigation of the underlying algebraic structures in supergravity and string theory. One point of entry into this topic is the analysis of gravitational theories close to a spacelike singularity (the "BKL-limit"), for which infinite-dimensional Kac-Moody algebras turn out to play an important role. More precisely, for many theories of interest, the dynamics in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity is controlled by hyperbolic Coxeter groups, corresponding to Weyl groups of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras. The BKL-limit therefore reveals a "hidden" arithmetic structure in theories coupled to gravity. Recently, I have investigated how this structure is modified when the spatial dimensions are described by compact manifolds of nontrivial topology. From another point of view, it is well known that similar arithmetic structures arise in string/M-theory in the form of discrete U-duality groups. Motivated by this, I am also studying the construction of arithmetic subgroups of Lie groups, and their relation with automorphic forms.
