Given suitable small, localized, $\mathbb U(1)$-symmetric solutions to the Einstein-massless Vlasov system in an elliptic gauge, we prove that they can be approximated by high-frequency vacuum spacetimes. This extends previous constructions…

We construct high-frequency initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations in dimension 3+1 by solving the constraint equations on $\mathbb{R}^3$. Our family of solutions $(\bar{g}_\lambda,K_\lambda)_{\lambda\in(0,1]}$ is defined through a…

Known examples in plane symmetry or Gowdy symmetry show that given a $1$-parameter family of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations, it may have a weak limit which does not satisfy the vacuum equations, but instead has a non-trivial…

We consider a system representing self-gravitating balls of dust in an expanding Universe. It is demonstrated that one can prescribe data for such a system at infinity and evolve it backward in time without the development of shocks or…
