Abstract: | We present a pure differential geometric mechanism of shock formation for a class of quasilinear wave equations. The solutions are stable and no symmetry assumption is assumed. The proof is based a detailed study of a Lorentzian geometry defined by the solutions. |
We organize conferences and workshops every year. Hope we can see you in future.
