We show that the spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar-field equations for wave-like decaying initial data at null infinity have unique local solutions and unique global solutions for small initial data. We also generalize Christodoulou's…

We prove that smooth asymptotically flat solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations which are assumed to be periodic in time, are in fact stationary in a neighborhood of infinity. Our result applies under physically relevant regularity…

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 construct asymptotically self-similar global solutions to the Hardy-H\'enon parabolic equation $\partial_t u - \Delta u = \pm |x|^{\gamma} |u|^{\alpha-1} u$, $\alpha>1$, $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ for a large class of initial data belonging…

For a given asymptotically flat initial data set for Einstein equations a new geometric invariant is constructed. This invariant measure the departure of the data set from the stationary regime, it vanishes if and only if the data is…

We revisit the problem of solving the Einstein constraint equations in vacuum by a new method, which allows us to prescribe four scalar quantities, representing the full dynamical degrees of freedom of the constraint system. We show that…

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;…

We consider the 3-dimensional formulation of Einstein's theory for spacetimes possessing a non-null Killing field $\xi^a$. It is known that for the vacuum case some of the basic field equations are deducible from the others. It will be…
