We consider spacetimes with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces and with Ricci tensor bounded from below on the set of timelike unit vectors, and prove that the results known for spacetimes satisfying the timelike convergence condition, namely,…

In this paper, we sketch the proof of the extension of the stability theorem of the Minkowski space in General Relativity done explicitly in previous work by the present author. We discuss solutions of the Einstein vacuum (EV) equations. We…

In this paper, we prove a localised version of the bounded $L^2$-curvature theorem of Klainerman-Rodnianski-Szeftel. More precisely, we consider initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations posed on a compact spacelike hypersurface…

In this paper, we introduce a class of spacetimes $\left(\mathcal{M},g\right)$ which satisfy the vacuum Einstein equations and dynamically approach a Schwarzschild solution of mass $M$, a class we shall call \emph{ultimately…

In this paper we prove a global existence theorem, in the direction of cosmological expansion, for sufficiently small perturbations of a family of $n+1$-dimensional, $n \geq 3$, spatially compact spacetimes which generalizes the $k=-1$…

We extend the conformal gluing construction of Isenberg-Mazzeo-Pollack [18] by establishing an analogous gluing result for field theories obtained by minimally coupling Einstein's gravitational theory with matter fields. We treat classical…

We present a covariant study of static space-times, as such and as solutions of gravity theories. By expressing the relevant tensors through the velocity and the acceleration vectors that characterise static space-times, the field equations…

The Cauchy problem of the vacuum Einstein's equations aims to find a semi-metric $g_{\alpha\beta}$ of a spacetime with vanishing Ricci curvature $R_{\alpha,\beta}$ and prescribed initial data. Under the harmonic gauge condition, the…

This article provides an attempt to extend concepts from the theory of Riemannian manifolds to piecewise linear spaces. In particular we propose an analogue of the Ricci tensor, which we give the name of an Einstein vector field. On a given…

We prove in this note that local geometric uniqueness holds true without loss of regularity for Einstein equations coupled with a large class of matter models. We thus extend the Planchon-Rodnianski uniqueness theorem for vacuum spacetimes.…

Unique continuation results are proved for metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature in the setting of bounded metrics on compact manifolds with boundary, and in the setting of complete, conformally compact metrics. Related to this issue, an…
