We prove definitive results on the global stability of the flat space among solutions of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon system. Our main theorems in this monograph include: (1) A proof of global regularity (in wave coordinates) of solutions of…

It is known that, in an asymptotically flat spacetime, null infinity cannot act as an initial-value surface for massive real scalar fields. Exploiting tools proper of harmonic analysis on hyperboloids and global norm estimates for the wave…

In this paper we show the small data solvability of suitable semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations on geometric classes of spaces, which include so-called asymptotically de Sitter and Kerr-de Sitter spaces, as well as asymptotically…

We report on the well-posedness of the Feynman problem for the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. The main result is the invertibility of the Klein-Gordon operator with Feynman conditions at infinite times.…

The null splitting theorem (proved in math.DG/9909158) is discussed. As an application, a uniqueness theorem for Minkowski space and for de Sitter space associated with the occurrence of null lines (inextendible globally achronal null…

We show that the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator is an essentially self-adjoint operator on the Cauchy surfaces of various classes of spacetimes. Our proof employs the intricate connection between global hyperbolicity and…

We consider the problem of essential self-adjointness of the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator in stationary spacetimes. This operator is shown to be a Laplace-Beltrami type operator plus a potential. In globally hyperbolic…

We describe a Lorentzian manifold that is globally hyperbolic and geodesically complete, but such that the (minimally coupled) Klein-Gordon operator with the standard domain is not essentially self-adjoint.

We consider the question of whether solutions of Klein--Gordon equations on asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes can be uniquely continued from the conformal boundary. Positive answers were first given by the second author with G.…

This talk reports on recent progress toward the semiglobal study of asymptotically flat spacetimes within numerical relativity. The development of a 3D solver for asymptotically Minkowski-like hyperboloidal initial data has rendered…

The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike…

We consider the massive Klein-Gordon equation on short-range asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. Extending our results in [GW1], we show that the Klein-Gordon operator with Feynman type boundary conditions at infinite times is invertible…

We show that, though they are rare, there are asymptotically flat space-times that possess null geodesic congruences that are both asymptotically shear- free and twist-free (surface forming). In particular, we display the class of…

Let $X=\mathbb{R}\times M$ be the spacetime, where $M$ is a closed manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric $g$, and we consider a symmetric Klein-Gordon type operator $P$ on $X$, which is asymptotically converges to…

We prove global hyperbolicity of spacetimes under generic regularity conditions on the metric. We then show that these spacetimes are timelike and null geodesically complete if the gradient of the lapse and the extrinsic curvature $K$ are…

We consider the massive Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes, in the sense that the manifold is $R^{1+d}$ and the metric approaches that of Minkowski space at infinity in a short-range way (jointly in time and space…

This paper explores the relation between convex functions and the geometry of space-times and semi-Riemannian manifolds (an investigation initiated by Gibbons-Ishibashi). Specifically, we study geodesic connectedness. We give…

We investigate the geometry of the space of immersed closed curves equipped with reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metrics; the metrics we consider are Sobolev metrics of possible fractional order $q\in [0,\infty)$. We establish the…

We prove that semiclassical gravity in conformally static, globally hyperbolic spacetimes with a massless, conformally coupled Klein-Gordon field is well posed, when viewed as a coupled theory for the dynamical conformal factor of the…

We prove a uniform weighted resolvent estimate for the massless Klein-Gordon operator on a curved spacetime which is sufficiently close to the Minkowski spacetime. This particularly implies the existence and H\"{o}lder continuity of the…
