In the field known as "the mathematical theory of shock waves,"
very exciting and unexpected developments have occurred in the last
few years. Joel Smoller and Blake Temple have established classes
of shock wave solutions to the Einstein Euler equations of general
relativity; indeed, the mathematical and physical con sequences of
these examples constitute a whole new area of research. The
stability theory of "viscous" shock waves has received a new,
geometric perspective due to the work of Kevin Zumbrun and
collaborators, which offers a spectral approach to systems. Due to
the intersection of point and essential spectrum, such an ap proach
had for a long time seemed out of reach. The stability problem for
"in viscid" shock waves has been given a novel, clear and concise
treatment by Guy Metivier and coworkers through the use of
paradifferential calculus. The L 1 semi group theory for systems of
conservation laws, itself still a recent development, has been
considerably condensed by the introduction of new distance
functionals through Tai-Ping Liu and collaborators; these
functionals compare solutions to different data by direct reference
to their wave structure. The fundamental prop erties of systems
with relaxation have found a systematic description through the
papers of Wen-An Yong; for shock waves, this means a first general
theorem on the existence of corresponding profiles. The five
articles of this book reflect the above developments."
