Black Hole Non-linear Stability: A Mathematical Overview

Abstract: In this talk, I will survey key geometric and analytic aspects of black hole perturbations, focusing on recent advances in understanding their dynamical stability, with a particular emphasis on the recent proof of the full nonlinear stability of the slowly rotating Kerr family as solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations.
