Abstract

We consider the Einstein-Maxwell equations in space-dimension nn. We point out that the Lindblad-Rodnianski stability proof applies to those equations whatever the space-dimension n3n\ge 3. In even space-time dimension n+16n+1\ge 6 we use the standard conformal method on a Minkowski background to give a simple proof that the maximal globally hyperbolic development of initial data sets which are sufficiently close to the data for Minkowski space-time and which are Schwarzschildian outside of a compact set lead to geodesically complete space-times, with a complete Scri, with smooth conformal structure, and with the gravitational field approaching the Minkowski metric along null directions at least as fast as r(n1)/2r^{-(n-1)/2}.
