Determinism, strong cosmic censorship, and the strength of singularities inside black holes — •Jan Sbierski — University of Cambridge

In classical mechanics, the initial position and velocity of a particle determine uniquely its future trajectory. This talk is concerned with the analogous question in general relativity: given initial data for the Einstein equations, is the future development uniquely determined? The strong cosmic censorship conjecture states that this should be the case -- at least generically.

In the interior of black holes it is expected that singularities bring classical time evolution to an end and in this way rule out a further non-unique future development. I will give a brief overview of known results and discuss an example of such a terminal singularity.
