New theorems about the existence of solution for a system of infinite linear equations with a Vandermonde type matrix of coefficients are proved. Some examples and applications of these results are shown. In particular, a kind of these…
We propose a method to determine the topological structure of an event horizon far in the future of a spacetime from the geometrical information of its future null infinity. In the present article, we mainly consider spacetimes with two…
In a previous paper [9], we proved the following singularity theorem applicable to cosmological models with a positive cosmological constant: if a four-dimensional spacetime satisfying the null energy condition contains a compact Cauchy…
We study the relationship between asymptotic characteristic initial data for the wave equation at past null infinity and the regularity of the solution at future null infinity on the Minkowski spacetime. By constructing estimates on a…
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…
In past, the future asymptotic behavior (with respect to initial data on null hypersurface) of Robinson-Trautman spacetime was examined and its past horizon characterized. Therefore, only the investigation of conformal infinity is missing…
The evidence for a Big Bang origin of the Universe is truly compelling, though its cause remains a complete mystery. As the cosmic spacetime is revealed to us with ever improving detail, however, we are beginning to refine the range of its…
We prove global completeness in the expanding direction of spacetimes satisfying the vacuum Einstein equations on a manifold of the form $\Sigma \times S^{1}\times R$ where $\Sigma $ is a compact surface of genus $G>1.$ The Cauchy data are…
We consider a system of quasilinear wave equations on the product space $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}\times \mathbb{S}^1$, which we want to see as a toy model for Einstein equations with additional compact dimensions. We show global existence for small…
We consider a general Euler-Korteweg-Poisson system in $R^3$, supplemented with the space periodic boundary conditions, where the quantum hydrodynamics equations and the classical fluid dynamics equations with capillarity are recovered as…
We investigate the Cauchy problem to the compressible planar non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations with zero heat conduction. The global existence of strong solutions to such a model has been established by Li and Li (J. Differential…
We construct local, in spacetime, singular solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations that exhibit Kasner-like behavior in their past boundary. Our result can be viewed as a localization (in space) of the construction in \cite{FL}. We also…
We present the first numerical simulations of asymptotically flat space-times whose computational domain includes past and future null-infinity. As an application, we explore the scattering of a gravitational wave in a black hole…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the evolutive discrete p-Laplacian in infinite graphs, with initial data decaying at infinity. We prove optimal sup and gradient bounds for nonnegative solutions, when the initial data has finite mass, and…
We give new definitions of null infinity and black hole in terms of causal boundaries, applicable to any strongly causal spacetime $(M,g)$. These are meant to extend the standard ones given in terms of conformal boundaries, and use the new…
We review recent results by the author, in collaboration with Erwann Delay, Olivier Lengard, and Rafe Mazzeo, on existence and properties of space-times with controlled asymptotic behavior at null infinity.
Hawking has shown that if black holes were to exist in a universe that expands forever, black holes would completely evaporate, violating unitarity. I argue this means unitarity requires that the universe exist for only a finite future…
This work is concerned with the long time behavior of solutions to the $b$-family of peakon equations. We prove local energy decay of global solutions under suitable hypotheses. Assuming the global bound of the $H^1(\mathbb R)$ norm, we…
We study solutions to the static vacuum Einstein equations on exterior domains with prescribed metric and mean curvature on the inner boundary. It is proved that for any such boundary data near the standard round boundary data in Euclidean…
In a recent work, Ringstr\"om proposed a geometric notion of initial data on big bang singularities. Moreover, he conjectured that initial data on the singularity could be used to parameterize quiescent solutions to Einstein's equations;…
