A geometrical invariant for regular asymptotically Euclidean data for the vacuum Einstein field equations is constructed. This invariant vanishes if and only if the data correspond to a slice of the Kerr black hole spacetime --thus, it…
We study a system of semilinear wave equations on Kerr backgrounds that satisfies the weak null condition. Under the assumption of small initial data, we prove global existence and pointwise decay estimates.
We establish the positive energy theorem and a Penrose-type inequality for 3-dimensional asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets with toroidal infinity, weakly trapped boundary, and satisfying the dominant energy condition. In the…
We consider the Krein realization of the Hilbert space for a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions. We find convergence criteria and the completion of the space of test functions ${\cal S}$ with the topology induced by the Krein scalar…
We prove, outside the influence region of a ball of radius $R_0$ centered in the origin of the initial data hypersurface, the existence of global solutions near to Kerr spacetime, provided that the initial data are sufficiently near to…
A new family of conserved currents for vacuum space-times with a Killing vector is presented. The currents are constructed from the superenergy tensor of the Mars-Simon tensor and using the positivity properties of the former we find that…
Given a compact domain of a 3-dimensional hypersurface on a vacuum spacetime, a scalar (the "non-Kerrness") is constructed by solving a Dirichlet problem for a second order elliptic system. If such scalar vanishes, and a set of conditions…
Results on the behaviour in the past time direction of cosmological models with collisionless matter and a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ are presented. It is shown that under the assumption of non-positive $\Lambda$ and spherical or plane…
For many purposes, a three-dimensional foliation of spacetime is more advantageous to understanding its light cone structure. We derive the equations describing such foliations for the Kerr geometry with non-zero cosmological constant, and…
In this article we construct a geometric invariant for initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein field equations $(\mathcal{S},h_{ab},K_{ab})$, such that $\mathcal{S}$ is a 3-dimensional manifold with an asymptotically Euclidean end and an…
We evolve a scalar field in a fixed Kerr-Schild background geometry to test simple $(3+1)$-dimensional algorithms for singularity excision. We compare both centered and upwind schemes for handling the shift (advection) terms, as well as…
We revisit the construction of maximal initial data on compact manifolds in vacuum with positive cosmological constant via the conformal method. We discuss, extend and apply recent results of Hebey et al. [19] and Premoselli [31] which…
We investigate solutions $(\mathcal{M}, g)$ to Einstein's vacuum field equations with positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$ which admit a smooth past null infinity $\mathcal{J}^-$ \`a la Penrose and a Killing vector field whose…
We examine the anisotropy originated from a first-order vacuum phase transitions through three-dimensional numerical simulations. We apply Bianchi Type-I metric to our model that has one scalar field minimally coupled to the gravity. We…
We analyze the Cauchy problem for the vacuum Einstein equations with data on a complete light-cone in an asymptotically Minkowskian space-time. We provide conditions on the free initial data which guarantee existence of global solutions of…
Using asymptotic characterization results of spacetimes at conformal infinity, we prove that Kerr-Schild-de Sitter spacetimes are in one-to-one correspondence with spacetimes in the Kerr-de Sitter-like class with conformally flat…
In this paper, we propose a survey of the basic geometric properties of Carters Kerr-de Sitter solution to Einsteins equation with positive cosmological constant. In particular, we give simple characterisations of the Kerr-de Sitter analogs…
We give a lower bound for the Lorentz length of the ADM energy-momentum vector (ADM mass) of 3-dimensional asymptotically flat initial data sets for the Einstein equations. The bound is given in terms of linear growth `spacetime harmonic…
Based on scale critical initial data, we construct smooth asymptotically flat Cauchy initial data for the Einstein vacuum system that does not contain Marginally Outer Trapped Surfaces (MOTS) but whose future evolution contains a trapped…
We re-express the Kerr metric in standard Bondi-Saches' coordinate near null infinity ${\cal I}^+$. Using the uniqueness result of characteristic initial value problem, we prove the Kerr metric is the only asymptotic flat, stationary, axial…
