Abstract

We complement a recent work on the stability of fixed points of the CMC-Einstein-Λ\Lambda flow. In particular, we modify the utilized gauge for the Einstein equations and remove a restriction on the fixed points whose stability we are able to prove by this method, and thereby generalize the stability result. In addition, we consider the notion of the reduced Hamiltonian, originally introduced by Fischer and Moncrief for the standard CMC-Einstein flow. For the analog version of the flow in the presence of a positive cosmological constant we identify the stationary points and relate them to the long-time behavior of the flow on manifolds of different Yamabe types. This entails conjectures on the asymptotic behaviour and potential attractors.
