Abstract
Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest by mathematicians in problems arising from the Einstein equations, with many new and surprising results being established using techniques from pde and differential geometry. These three lectures provide an introduction to some of the problems of current interest, in particular those arising from spherical symmetry or motivated by known behaviour of spherically symmetric spacetimes.
