50 years of the Cauchy problem in General Relativity

Summer School on mathematical general relativity and global properties of solutions of Einstein's equations

Cargèse, Corsica, France

July 29 - August 10, 2002


The date and the title of the school have been chosen to mark the publication in 1952 of the fundamental paper by Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat on the Cauchy problem in general relativity.

The school is partially funded by the European Union, which imposes a quota on the proportion of participants from each single country. For this reason there will be, in January 2002, a selection between those participants who have preregistered before December 31, 2001.
