We prove that "first singularities" in the non-trapped region of the maximal development of spherically symmetric asymptotically flat data for the Einstein-Vlasov system must necessarily emanate from the center. The notion of "first"…
We study a class of S3 Gowdy vacuum models with a regular past Cauchy horizon which we call smooth Gowdy symmetric generalized Taub-NUT solutions. In particular, we prove existence of such solutions by formulating a singular initial value…
There are three categories of mathematical results concerning quiescent big bang singularities: the derivation of asymptotics in a symmetry class; the construction of spacetimes given initial data on the singularity; and the proof of big…
We consider a characteristic initial value problem for a class of symmetric hyperbolic systems with initial data given on two smooth null intersecting characteristic surfaces. We prove existence of solutions on a future neighborhood of the…
We construct exact initial data for closed cosmological models filled with regularly arranged black holes in the presence of $\Lambda$. The intrinsic geometry of the 3-dimensional space described by this data is a sum of simple closed-form…
In the spirit of the Newtonian theory, we characterize spherically symmetric empty space in general relativity in terms of energy density measured by a static observer and convergence density experienced by null and timelike congruences. It…
Fundamental fields are a natural outcome in cosmology and particle physics and might therefore serve as a proxy for more complex interactions. The equivalence principle implies that all forms of matter gravitate, and one therefore expects…
We develop a Hamiltonian formalism which can be used to discuss the physics of a massless scalar field in a gravitational background of a Schwarzschild black hole. Using this formalism we show that the time evolution of the system is…
On any given compact (n+1)-manifold M with non-empty boundary, it is proved that the moduli space of Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold under a mild condition on the fundamental group. Thus, the Einstein…
We prove a global well-posedness and asymptotic convergence theorem for the \((3+1)\)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant \(\Lambda\) on globally hyperbolic spacetimes \(\widetilde M \cong M \times…
We show how matter can be included in a constrained ADM-like formulation of the Einstein equations on constant mean curvature surfaces. Previous results on the regularity of the equations at future null infinity are unaffected by the…
We study the Cauchy problem for the Einstein-Boltzmann system with soft potentials in a cosmological setting. We assume the Bianchi I symmetry to describe a spatially homogeneous, but anisotropic universe and consider a cosmological…
In this paper, we study the evolution of asymptotically AdS initial data for the spherically symmetric Einstein--massless Vlasov system for $\Lambda<0$, with reflecting boundary conditions imposed on timelike infinity $\mathcal{I}$, in the…
We prove the non-linear asymptotic stability of the Schwarzschild family as solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations in the exterior of the black hole region: general vacuum initial data, with no symmetry assumed, sufficiently close to…
Recent work in the literature has studied a version of non-commutative Schwarzschild black holes where the effects of non-commutativity are described by a mass function depending on both the radial variable r and a non-commutativity…
The characteristic Cauchy problem of the Einstein field equations has been recently addressed from a completely abstract viewpoint by means of hypersurface data and, in particular, via the notion of double null data. However, this…
It is proved that any static system that is spacetime-geodesically complete at infinity, and whose spacelike-topology outside a compact set is that of R^3 minus a ball, is asymptotically flat. The matter is assumed compactly supported and…
A complete characterization is obtained of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the static vacuum Einstein equations which have a (pseudo)-compact horizon or boundary and are complete away from the boundary. It is proved that the…
An interesting question is to characterize the general class of allowed boundary conditions for gauge theories, including gravity, at spatial and null infinity. This has played a role in discussions of soft charges, where antipodal symmetry…
The construction of a theory of quantum gravity is an outstanding problem that can benefit from better understanding the laws of nature that are expected to hold in regimes currently inaccessible to experiment. Such fundamental laws can be…
