Elasticity, a matter model for isolated systems — •Bernd Schmidt — Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Am Mühlenberg 1, 14476 Golm

Formulations of elasticity in General Relativity were given by various authors in the second half of the last century. No effort, however, was made to study existence questions under various circumstances. This is even so in Newtonian gravity.

I will describe some existence results and conjectures for elastic bodies with and without gravitation.
