Description
I will introduce the celebrated black hole stability conjecture
according to which the Kerr family of metrics are stable as solutions to the
Einstein vacuum equations of general relativity. I will then discuss the
history of this problem, including a recent work on the resolution of the
black hole stability conjecture for small angular momentum.
