MS31 Part 2 of 2 - Mathematical Problems of Relativistic Physics

MS31 Part 1 of 2

Abstract:
Relativistic physics, whether classical or quantum, continues to provide mathematicians with a treasure trove of problems to solve, as well as the physical intuition needed to guide them in that quest. In this minisymposium we will learn about some of the recent advances in the fields of general relativity, electromagnetism, relativistic quantum mechanics, and relativistic kinetic theory.
