Abstract

We consider the Einstein-dust equations with positive cosmological constant λ\lambda on manifolds with time slices diffeomorphic to an orientable, compact 3-manifold SS. It is shown that the set of standard Cauchy data for the Einstein-λ\lambda-dust equations on SS contains an open (in terms of suitable Sobolev norms) subset of data that develop into solutions which admit at future time-like infinity a space-like conformal boundary J+{\cal J}^+ that is CC^{\infty} if the data are of class CC^{\infty} and of correspondingly lower smoothness otherwise. As a particular case follows a strong stability result for FLRW solutions. The solutions can conveniently be characterized in terms of their asymptotic end data induced on J+{\cal J}^+, only a linear equation must be solved to construct such data. In the case where the energy density ρ^\hat{\rho} is everywhere positive such data can be constructed without solving any differential equation at all.
