We prove a strong localized gluing result for the general relativistic constraint equations (with or without cosmological constant) in $n\geq 3$ spatial dimensions. We glue an $\epsilon$-rescaling of an asymptotically flat data set…

We reformulate the standard local equations of general relativity for asymptotically flat spacetimes in terms of two non-local quantities, the holonomy $H$ around certain closed null loops on characteristic surfaces and the light cone cut…

We show how to prescribe the initial data of a characteristic problem satisfying the costraints, the smallness, the regularity and the asymptotic decay suitable to prove a global existence result. In this paper, the first of two, we show in…

To construct asymptotically-Euclidean Einstein's initial data sets, we introduce the localized seed-to-solution method, which projects from approximate to exact solutions of the Einstein constraints. The method enables us to glue together…

A classical problem in general relativity is the Cauchy problem for the linearised Einstein equation (the initial value problem for gravitational waves) on a globally hyperbolic vacuum spacetime. A well-known result is that it is uniquely…
