Abstract
We prove dynamical stability and instability theorems for asymptotically hyperbolic static solutions of Einstein's equation with , viewed as self-similar solutions of the Ricci-harmonic flow. More precisely, we show that static metrics are dynamically stable if and only if a positive mass type theorem holds for nearby metrics. Our key tool is a new variant of the expander entropy for the Ricci-harmonic flow.
