Abstract

We study the Einstein equations coupled with the scalar field equations, Ein(g)=T\hbox{Ein}(g)=T, T=T(g,ϕ)+F1T=T(g,\phi)+F^1, and gϕm2ϕ=F2\square_g\phi^\ell-m^2\phi^\ell= F^2, where the sources F=(F1,F2)F=(F^1, F^2) correspond to perturbations of the physical fields which we control. Here ϕ=(ϕ)=1L\phi=(\phi^\ell)_{\ell=1}^L and (M,g)(M,g) is a 4-dimensional globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold. The sources FF need to be such that the fields (g,ϕ,F)(g,\phi,F) satisfy the conservation law divg(T)=0\hbox{div}_g(T)=0. If (gϵ,ϕϵ)(g_\epsilon,\phi_\epsilon) solves the above equations, g˙=ϵgϵϵ=0\dot g=\partial_\epsilon g_\epsilon|_{\epsilon=0}, ϕ˙=ϕϵϵ=0\dot\phi=\phi_\epsilon|_{\epsilon=0}, and f=(f1,f2)=ϵFϵϵ=0f=(f^1,f^2)= \partial_\epsilon F_\epsilon|_{\epsilon=0} solve the linearized Einstein equations and the linearized conservation law 12g^pk^pfkj1+=1Lf2jϕ^=0, \frac 12 \hat g^{pk}\hat \nabla_p f^1_{kj}+ \sum_{\ell=1}^L f^2_\ell \, \partial_j\hat\phi_\ell=0, where g^=gϵϵ=0\hat g= g_\epsilon|_{\epsilon=0} and ϕ^=ϕϵϵ=0\hat \phi= \phi_\epsilon|_{\epsilon=0}. Then (g^,ϕ^)(\hat g,\hat \phi) and ff have the linearization stability property. Here ask the converse: If g˙\dot g, ϕ˙\dot \phi, and ff solve the linearized Einstein equations and the linearized conservation law, are there Fϵ=(Fϵ1,Fϵ2)F_\epsilon=(F^1_\epsilon,F^2_\epsilon) and (gϵ,ϕϵ)(g_\epsilon,\phi_\epsilon) depending on ϵ[0,ϵ0)\epsilon\in [0,\epsilon_0), ϵ0>0\epsilon_0>0, such that (gϵ,ϕϵ)(g_\epsilon,\phi_\epsilon) solves the Einstein-scalar field equations and the conservation law. When g^\hat g and ϕ^\hat \phi vary enough and L5L\geq 5, we prove a microlocal version of this: When YMY\subset M is a 2-surface and (y,η)NY(y,\eta)\in N^*Y, there is ff that is a conormal distibutions wrt. the surface YY with a given principal symbol at (y,η)(y,\eta) such that (g^,ϕ^)(\hat g,\hat \phi) and ff have the linearization stability property.
