Relativistic elasticity and compactness bounds

Abstract: After reviewing the basics of relativistic elasticity theory, I will introduce a general framework to study spherically symmetric self-gravitating elastic bodies systematically within general relativity, and apply it to investigate compactness bounds in this context.

JoMaReC - Joint Online Mathematical Relativity Colloquium

Series comments: This monthly online colloquium is meant to be accessible to and informative for mathematicians and mathematical physicists with a background in General Relativity, widely interpreted to include Lorentzian Geometry, and Geometric Analysis of various Partial Differential Equations related to General Relativity.

It is aimed to present motivation and applications of particular results and/or introduce specific subfields, while refraining from too much technicalities.
