On positivity of energy in higher dimensions
Speaker:Piotr Chruściel (Univ. Wien)
Abstract:I will review the notion of total energy of asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds in general relativity, and sketch the recent proof, together with Erwann Delay, of positivity of hyperbolic energy in all dimensions.

Asymptotics properties of the small data solutions of the Vlasov-Maxwell system
Speaker:Leo Bigorgne (Orsay)
Abstract:The Vlasov-Maxwell system is a classical model in plasma physics. Glassey and Strauss proved global existence for the small data solutions of this system under a compact support assumption on the initial data. I will present how vector field methods can be applied to revisit this problem. In particular, it allows to remove all compact support assumptions on the initial data and obtain sharp asymptotics on the solutions. We will also discuss the null structure of the system which constitutes a crucial element of the proof.

nEoS: Neutron Star Equation of State from hadron physics alone
Speaker: Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada (Universidad Complutense Madrid)
Abstract:We contribute a publicly available set of tables and code to provide Equations of State (EoS) for matter at neutron star densities. Our EoSes are constrained only by input from hadron physics and fundamental principles, without feedback from neutron star observations, and so without relying on General Relativity. They can therefore be used to test General Relativity itself, as well as modified gravity theories, with neutron star observables, without logical circularity. We have adapted state of the art results from NN chiral potentials for the low--density limit, pQCD results for the asymptotically high-density EoS, and use monotonicity and causality as the only restrictions for intermediate densities, for the EoS sets to remain as model-independent as is feasible today.
