Title: Some results on L^∞ entropy solutions to systems of two conservation laws
Abstract: The pioneering work of Tartar and DiPerna established the existence of entropy solutions to systems of two conservation laws in the L^∞ setting by adapting the compensated compactness method. However, no regularity properties are known for these solutions. As a first step in this direction, we discuss a Liouville-type theorem for isentropic solutions of 2×2 genuinely nonlinear systems, together with some of its applications. The arguments are based on a kinetic formulation and on a Lagrangian representation at the kinetic level. Joint work with F. Ancona and E. Marconi.

Title: A scattering construction for nonlinear wave equations on Kerr-Anti de Sitter spacetimes
Abstract: Given the sharp logarithmic decay of linear waves on the Kerr-AdS black hole (Holzegel, Smulevici, 2013), it is expected that the Kerr-AdS spacetime is unstable as a solution of the Einstein vacuum equations. However, the scattering construction presented here for exponentially decaying nonlinear waves on a fixed Kerr-AdS background serves as a first step to confronting the scattering problem for the full Einstein system. In this context, one may hope to derive a class of perturbations of Kerr-AdS which remain ‘close’ and dissipate sufficiently fast.
