Asymptotically flat and regular Cauchy data

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I describe the construction of a large class of asymptotically flat initial data with non-vanishing mass and angular momentum for which the metric and the extrinsic curvature have asymptotic expansions at space-like infinity in terms of powers of a radial coordinate. I emphasize the motivations and the main ideas behind the proofs.
