Local Energy Estimates in Schwarzschild and Kerr
Abstract: Understanding the decay of linear waves is crucial in dealing with the problem of stability of the Kerr space time. I will talk about one way to measure this decay, namely local energy estimates, from which one can deduce many other useful estimates (uniform energy bounds, pointwise bounds, Strichartz estimates etc). This is joint work with Jeremy Marzuola, Jason Metcalfe and Daniel Tataru (for Schwarzschild) and Daniel Tataru (for Kerr).

Long-time Existence for Quasilinear Wave Equations with Small Data in Exterior Domains
Abstract: We explore long time existence for quasilinear wave equations with small data in exterior domains. In particular, we explore nonlinearities which are permitted to depend on the solution not just its first and second derivatives. The primary new tool is a weighted Strichartz estimate which was developed for use in other contexts.
