Abstract

We prove propagation of weighted Sobolev regularity for solutions of the hyperboloidal Cauchy problem for a class of quasi-linear symmetric hyperbolic systems, under structure conditions compatible with the Einstein-Maxwell equations in space-time dimensions n+17n+1\ge 7. Similarly we prove propagation of polyhomogeneity in dimensions n+19n+1\ge 9. As a byproduct we obtain, in those last dimensions, polyhomogeneity at null infinity of small data solutions of vacuum Einstein, or Einstein-Maxwell equations evolving out of initial data which are stationary outside of a ball.
