We consider weakly regular Gowdy-symmetric spacetimes on T3 satisfying the Einstein-Euler equations of general relativity, and we solve the initial value problem when the initial data set has bounded variation, only, so that the…

This paper establishes novel bounds for Gowdy-symmetric Einstein-Euler spacetimes and completes the analysis, initiated by LeFloch and Rendall, of the global areal foliation for these spacetimes. We thus consider the initial value problem…

We show a global existence theorem for Einstein-matter equations of $T^{3}$-Gowdy symmetric spacetimes with stringy matter. The areal time coordinate is used. It is shown that this spacetime has a crushing singularity into the past. From…

We consider self-gravitating fluids in cosmological spacetimes with Gowdy symmetry on the torus $T^3$ and, in this class, we solve the singular initial value problem for the Einstein-Euler system of general relativity, when an initial data…

We define the class of weakly regular spacetimes with T2 symmetry, and investigate their global geometry structure. We formulate the initial value problem for the Einstein vacuum equations with weak regularity, and establish the existence…

A global existence theorem, with respect to a geometrically defined time, is shown for Gowdy symmetric globally hyperbolic solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system for arbitrary (in size) initial data. The spacetimes being studied contain…

Under weak regularity assumptions, only, we develop a fully geometric theory of vacuum Einstein spacetimes with T2 symmetry, establish the global well-posedness of the initial value problem for Einstein's field equations, and investigate…

We review recent work on the Einstein equations of general relativity when the curvature is defined in a weak sense. Weakly regular spacetimes are constructed, in which impulsive gravitational waves, as well as shock waves, propagate.

This article, written to appear as a chapter in "The Springer Handbook of Spacetime", is a review of the initial value problem for Einstein's gravitational field theory in general relativity. Designed to be accessible to graduate students…

In this paper, we initiate the rigorous mathematical study of the problem of impulsive gravitational spacetime waves. We construct such spacetimes as solutions to the characteristic initial value problem of the Einstein vacuum equations…

As it is well known, the global structure of the Einstein equations for general relativity in the context of the initial value problem, is a difficult and intricate mathematical problem. Therefore, any additional structure in their…

A classical problem in general relativity is the Cauchy problem for the linearised Einstein equation (the initial value problem for gravitational waves) on a globally hyperbolic vacuum spacetime. A well-known result is that it is uniquely…

We investigate the future asymptotic behavior of Gowdy spacetimes on T3, when the metric satisfies weak regularity conditions, so that the metric coefficients (in suitable coordinates) are only in the Sobolev space H1 or have even weaker…

We consider the initial boundary value problem for the Einstein vacuum equations in the maximal gauge, or more generally, in a gauge where the mean curvature of a timelike foliation is fixed near the boundary. We prove the existence of…

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…

We study the plane-symmetric collision of two gravitational waves and describe the global spacetime geometry generated by this collision. To this end, we formulate the characteristic initial value problem for the Einstein equations, when…

We give a geometric criterion for the breakdown of an Einstein vacuum space-time foliated by a constant mean curvature, or maximal, foliation. More precisely we show that the foliated space-time can be extended as long as the the second…

It is well-known that small, regular, spherically symmetric characteristic initial data to the Einstein-scalar-field system which are decaying towards (future null) infinity give rise to solutions which are foward-in-time global (in the…

We numerically investigate the propagation of plane gravitational waves in the form of an initial boundary value problem with de Sitter initial data. The full non-linear Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant $\lambda$ are…

We consider a system of nonlinear wave equations with constraints that arises from the Einstein equations of general relativity and describes the geometry of the so-called Gowdy symmetric spacetimes on T3. We introduce two numerical…
