Spacetime is foliated by spatial hypersurfaces in the 3+1 split of General Relativity. The initial value problem then consists of specifying initial data for all relevant fields on one such a spatial hypersurface. These fields are the…

In this paper, we investigate the rigidity problems of complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature in Euclidean spaces. Firstly, under some conditions of Gaussian-Kronecker curvature, we provide…
We study the scalar, conformally invariant wave equation on a four-dimensional Minkowski background in spherical symmetry, using a fully pseudospectral numerical scheme. Thereby, our main interest is in a suitable treatment of spatial…
We analyze Killing Initial Data on Cauchy surfaces in conformally rescaled vacuum space-times satisfying Friedrich's conformal field equations. As an application, we derive the KID equations on a spacelike $\mathcal{J}^-$.
We study a nonlinear initial value Cauchy problem depending upon a complex perturbation parameter $\epsilon$ whose coefficients depend holomorphically on $(\epsilon,t)$ near the origin in $\mathbb{C}^{2}$ and are bounded holomorphic on some…
We discuss the existence of asymptotically Euclidean initial data sets to the vacuum Einstein field equations which would give rise (modulo an existence result for the evolution equations near spatial infinity) to developments with a past…
We investigate the existence and the global causal structure of plane symmetric spacetimes with weak regularity when the matter consists of an irrotational perfect fluid with pressure equal to its mass-energy density. Our theory encompasses…

New general results of non-existence and rigidity of spacelike submanifolds immersed in a spacetime, whose mean curvature is a time-oriented causal vector field, are given. These results hold for a wide class of spacetimes which includes…
We investigate the problem of finding complete strictly convex hypersurfaces of constant curvature in hyperbolic space with a prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity for a general class of curvature functions.
In this paper we demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to solve numerically the Cauchy problem for the linearisation of the general conformal field equations near spacelike infinity, which is only well-defined in Friedrich's…
We consider a characteristic problem of the vacuum Einstein equations with part of the initial data given on a future complete null cone with suitable decay, and show that the solution exists uniformly around the null cone for general such…
We consider gravitational field equations which are Einstein equations written in terms of embedding coordinates in some higher dimensional Minkowski space. Our main focus is to address some tricky issues relating to the Cauchy problem and…
