An Introduction to Radial Shock Formation in 2 Spatial Dimensions

The HADES seminar on Tuesday, January 28th, will be at 3:30pm in Room 740.

Speaker: Ely Sandine

Abstract: This will be an expository talk on shock formation for quasilinear wave equations from small,  smooth, radially symmetric initial data. I will focus in particular on the case of two spatial dimensions. The primary reference for this talk is the survey article “Shock Formation in Small-Data Solutions to 3D Quasilinear Wave Equations: An Overview” by Holzegel, Klainerman, Speck and Wong (2016).
