The StAR School is a summer school on modern research in mathematical general relativity aimed at Ph.D. students but applications are welcome from postdocs and advanced Master’s students. The school will run from 6th-10th July 2026 (with arrival on the 5th) and will consist of lectures and problem sessions on the following topics:
– 3+1 gauges for the Einstein equations, local well-posedness and further applications (Grigorios Fournodavlos, University of Crete)
– Black hole uniqueness theorems (James Lucietti, University of Edinburgh)
– Integral formulas for underdetermined PDE systems and flexibility of initial data in general relativity (Zhongkai Tao, IHES)
– Waves on black holes (Rita Teixeira da Costa, University of Cambridge)
Places at the school are limited and applications will be assessed on a rolling basis. There will also be the opportunity for students to give short “lightning talks” on their own research”.
