Title: Einstein equations, conformal structure, and asymptotic behaviour of space-times

Abstract: This series of talks begins with a derivation of two different conformal representations of Einstein's field equations and a study of the various formal properties of the resulting equations. Then Penrose's proposal concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the far fields of isolated gravitationg systems is introduced and its merits, difficulties, and a number of related results are discussed. Finally, present investigations of the asymptotic conformal structure of asymptotically flat vacuum solutions with vanishing cosmological constant are presented and open problems are pointed out.
