Abstract
We show that every regular domain in Minkowski space which is not a wedge admits an entire hypersurface whose domain of dependence is and whose scalar curvature is a prescribed constant (or function, under suitable hypotheses) in . Under rather general assumptions, these hypersurfaces are unique and provide foliations of . As an application, we show that every maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy compact flat spacetime admits a foliation by hypersurfaces of constant scalar curvature, generalizing to any dimension previous results of Barbot-B\'eguin-Zeghib (for ) and Smith (for ).
