Master Class 2026: Differential Geometry and General Relativity

We are happy to be able to welcome all interested researchers, with particular emphasis on PhD students and postdocs, to this Master Class on Differential Geometry and General Relativity in Stockholm in May 2026! It is organized jointly between KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. The master class will take place during one week and consist of three mini-courses with the goal of taking the audience to the frontiers of development in some active and fascinating research areas in Riemannian geometry and mathematical general relativity.

Dates. May 18-22, 2026
Place. The lectures will be given in room D2  in the main building at KTH.

Mini-courses. The Master Class will consist of the following three mini-courses:

• Lars Andersson (BIMSA): Gravitational instantons, history and recent developments.
• Christian Bär (University of Potsdam): Scalar curvature and the Dirac operator.
• András Vasy (Stanford University): The black hole stability problem: microlocal analysis and general relativity.

Registration. To register for the Master Class, please fill out the following form  until April 12.

Organizers. Mattias Dahl (KTH), Klaus Kröncke (KTH), Oliver Petersen (SU)
