Title: Geodesic hypothesis in general relativity

Abstract:In general relativity, Einstein's geodesic hypothesis states that a freemassive test particle will follow a timelike geodesic in the spacetime. In this talk,we will give a rigorous mathematical derivation of geodesic hypothesisfor the toy model that the particles are stable solitons for aclass of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations.
