The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $232,374 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This three-year grant, awarded on July 15, 2023 and running through June 30, 2026, supports a research program focused on the mathematical analysis of the Einstein equations within the interior of black holes. The ultimate objective is to provide a rigorous proof of the Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture within the context of gravitational collapse and the formation of black holes. The research is expected to advance the understanding of the mechanisms governing the formation and stability of singularities in general relativity, with broad implications for astrophysics and the fundamental nature of gravity. The grant also provides research training opportunities for graduate students.
