In this note, we discuss the nonlinear stability in exponential time of Minkowski space-time with a translation space-like Killing field, proved in [13]. In the presence of such a symmetry, the $3+1$ vacuum Einstein equations reduce to the $2+1$ Einstein equations with a scalar field. We work in generalized wave coordinates. In this gauge Einstein equations can be written as a system of quasilinear quadratic wave equations. The main difficulty in [13] is due to the decay in $1/\sqrt{t}$ of free solutions to the wave...
