ANR-25-CE40-4883 ScattHoloGR
Scattering, Holography and General Relativity
January 2026 - December 2029

The main purpose of this project is the systematic development of scattering theory in general relativity using conformal and projective geometrical methods. Our work programme includes the following directions:

  • Conformal scattering for massless fields, linear and non linear;
  • Projective scattering for massive fields;
  • Inverse scattering by geometrical methods;
  • Relations between peeling, scattering and asymptotic charges;
  • Numerical simulation of a scattering process on a compactified spacetime;
  • Development of SageManifolds and in particular addition of spinor calculus.
