Aim & Scope:

 

The mathematical theory of isometric embedding culminated in Nash’s theorem and the solution of Weyl’s problem by Nirenberg and Pogorelov in the last century. On the other hand, due to the equivalence principle, the definition of mass/energy in general relativity has been a challenging problem since Einstein’s time. As there is no mass/energy density for gravitation, one can at best hope to have a quasilocal definition. Isometric embedding into the Euclidean and Minkowski space provides the needed theoretical foundation in defining quasilocal mass through the Hamilton-Jacobi approach. Very recently, there have been important progresses on isometric embeddings into non-homogeneous spacetimes such as the Schwarzschild spacetime and the definition of quasilocal mass with reference to such a spacetime. This workshop gathers researchers working on the frontier of this recent development and aims to supply a platform for exchanging ideas and facilitating future collaborations.
