The Cosmic Censorship Conjectures in General Relativity - Lecture 2

Explore the second lecture on cosmic censorship conjectures in general relativity, delivered by Mihalis Dafermos from Princeton University and the University of Cambridge. Delve into key concepts such as strong and weak cosmic censorship, spacelike singularity construction, and various types of statements related to the topic. Examine singular behavior and reasonable cosmic censorship, with a focus on spherical symmetry. Gain insights into Penrose diagrams and their relevance to the subject. This comprehensive lecture, part of the ICTP School on Geometry and Gravity, provides an in-depth exploration of these fundamental concepts in general relativity.
