• Spectral Behavior of the Linearized Einstein Operator and the Infrared Structure of Linearized Gravity

  Oral-In-person

  March 16, 2026, 11:06 AM – March 16, 2026, 11:18 AM

  Publication: This presentation builds on my preprint 'Curvature Decay and Spectrum of the Nonabelian Laplacian on R³', which develops the spectral threshold framework for gauge-field Laplacians. That preprint was presented as an oral contributed talk at the joint TAOAPS conference on Oct. 11. An earlier version of that research was also peer reviewed in Annales Henri Poincaré. The present work extends that analysis to the linearized Einstein operator on asymptotically flat manifolds. A preprint write-up is planned for this extension.
