If you have a question about this talk, please contact HoD Secretary, DPMMS .

In the first part of the talk I will introduce the Einstein-Vlasov system and survey some of the known mathematical results for this non-linear coupled system of equations. I will then formulate the question of nonlinear stability/instability of steady state galaxies and present a coercivity result for the second variation of the ADM -mass. As a consequence, we obtain the linear stability assuming that the central red-shift of the steady state galaxy is suitably small. This is consistent with the numerical observations of Zeldovitch from 1970’s, that additionally suggest an instability when the central red-shift is large. This is joint work with G. Rein.

This talk is part of the Conference on Mathematical Topics in Kinetic Theory series.
