We analyse the Cauchy problem on a characteristic cone, including its vertex, for the Einstein equations in arbitrary dimensions. We use a wave map gauge, solve the obtained constraints and show gauge conservation.
We show that smooth, radially symmetric wave maps $U$ from $\mathbb R^{2+1}$ to a compact target manifold $N$, where $\partial_r U$ and $\partial_t U$ have compact support for any fixed time, scatter. The result will follow from the work of…
