We consider four-dimensional general relativity with a negative cosmological constant in the presence of a finite size boundary, $\Gamma$, for both Euclidean and Lorentzian signature. As our boundary condition, we consider the `conformal'…
Cauchy-characteristic matching (CCM) is a numerical-relativity technique that solves Einstein's equations on an effectively infinite computational domain, thereby eliminating systematic errors associated with artificial boundary conditions.…

Inspired by the work of Burq and Tzvetkov (Invent. math. 173(2008), 449-475.), firstly, we construct the local strong solution to the cubic nonlinear wave equation with random data for a large set of initial data in $H^{s}(M)$ with $s\geq…
We solve the problem of expressing the Weyl scalars $\psi $ that describe gravitational perturbations of a Kerr black hole in terms of Cauchy data. To do so we use geometrical identities (like the Gauss-Codazzi relations) as well as…
In this paper we study a numerical implementation for the initial boundary value formulation for the generalized conformal field equations. We propose a formulation which is well suited for the study of the long-time behaviour of perturbed…
A formalism previously introduced by the author using tesselated Cauchy surfaces is applied to define a quantized version of gravitating point particles in 2+1 dimensions. We observe that this is the first model whose quantum version…
We present a new method for treating the inner Cauchy boundary of a black hole spacetime by matching to a characteristic evolution. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a scheme relative to Cauchy-only approaches. A prototype…
