At the interface of asymptotics, conformal methods and analysis in general relativity
G. Taujanskas,
J. A. Valiente Kroon
Abstract:This is an introductory article for the proceedings associated with the Royal Society Hooke discussion meeting of the same title which took place in London in May 2023. We review the history of Penrose’s conformal compactification, null infinity and a number of related fundamental developments in mathematical general relativity from the last 60 years.
This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘At the interface of asymptotics, conformal methods and analysis in general relativity’.
