Dr. Seema Satin

I will present a new theoretical approach starting with a classical Einstein Langevin equation ( phenomenologically ) and its applications towards massive stars and dense matter that they are composed of. The idea is extended from equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics foundations and is aimed at building up rigourous foundations and applications for systems governed by the Einstein's equations with a spacetime structure. The idea is also inspired by the semiclassical stochastic gravity developments based on the semiclassical Einstein-Langevin equation, though here the formulations and applications are very different. In this talk I will present preliminary efforts that are underway, and state the relevance of such theoretical developments with aims towards possible observational consequences in specific models/cases of relativistic stars, as well as scope for theoretical developments and research.
