On the free boundary hard phase fluid in Minkowski spacetime

Abstract: I will discuss a recent work on the free boundary hard phase fluid model with Minkowski background. The hard phase model is an idealized model for a relativistic fluid where the sound speed approaches the speed of light. This work consists of two results: First, we prove the well-posedness of this model in Sobolev spaces. Second, we give a rigorous justification of the non-relativistic limit for this model as the speed of light approaches infinity. This is joint work with Sohrab Shahshahani and Sijue Wu.
