Description
Thomas Kling and his students have been performing research on the theoretical basis for gravitational lensing. The work combines geometry, a nuanced understanding of differential equations, Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and significant computational physics. In this discussion, an overview of the research program will be given, along with recent results.
