Asymptotically flat spacetimes with one Killing vector field are considered. The Killing equations are solved asymptotically using polyhomogeneous expansions (i.e. series in powers of 1/r an ln r), and solved order by order. The solution to…
We initiate the study of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Klein-Gordon system in the presence of a negative cosmological constant, a model appearing frequently in the context of high-energy physics. Due to the lack of global hyperbolicity…
The existence of a Killing symmetry in a gauge theory is equivalent to the addition of extra Hamiltonian constraints in its phase space formulation, which imply restrictions both on the Dirac observables (the gauge invariant physical…
