We consider the Einstein-Maxwell equations in space-dimension $n$. We point out that the Lindblad-Rodnianski stability proof applies to those equations whatever the space-dimension $n\ge 3$. In even space-time dimension $n+1\ge 6$ we use…
This paper addresses the problem of wellposedness of non-autonomous linear evolution equations $\dot x = A(t)x$ in uniformly convex Banach spaces. We assume that $A(t):D \subset X\to X$, for each $t$ is the generator of a quasi-contractive…

The nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime has been one of the central achievements in the mathematical theory of general relativity and, more broadly, in the analysis of nonlinear geometric wave equations. Since the seminal work of…
The constraint equations in Maxwell theory are investigated. In analogy with some recent results on the constraints of general relativity it is shown, regardless of the signature and dimension of the ambient space, that the "divergence of a…
Linear evolution equations are considered usually for the time variable being defined on an interval where typically initial conditions or time-periodicity of solutions are required to single out certain solutions. Here we would like to…
