Shock formations for 3-dimensional wave equations
PDE and Applied Math Seminar| Speaker: | Pin Yu, Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University |

We present a mechanism of shock formation for a class of quasilinear wave equations. The proof is based on energy estimates and on the study of the differential geometry defined by the solution.
