Scope of the session: The session aims to complement the series of lectures
by H.Friedrich, the lectures of H.Bray and the session of
S.Klainerman. The organiser will speak himself and there will also
be contributions from P.Chrusciel and H.Friedrich. It is
intended to include some historical background and physical
arguments for various features of the standard picture of null
infinity and to discuss the extent to which "asymptotic
simplicity" correctly geometrizes the notion of an isolated
system. The standard picture will be critically examined at
various points, and the session will end with the presentation of
outstanding problems.
