The nonlinear future stability of the FLRW family of solutions to the irrotational Euler-Einstein system with a positive cosmological constant

Igor Rodnianski, Jared Speck (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this article, we study small perturbations of the family of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker cosmological background solutions to the coupled Euler-Einstein system with a positive cosmological constant in 1 + 3 spacetime dimensions. The background solutions model an initially uniform quiet fluid of positive energy density evolving in a spacetime undergoing exponentially accelerated expansion. Our nonlinear analysis shows that under the equation of state p = c 2 ρ , 0 < c 2 < 1 / 3 , the background metric + fluid solutions...

The resolution of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture in general relativity

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski, Jérémie Szeftel (2014/2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

This paper reports on the recent proof of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture. More precisely we show that the time of existence of a classical solution to the Einstein-vacuum equations depends only on the L 2 -norm of the curvature and a lower bound of the volume radius of the corresponding initial data set.

TT-tensors and conformally flat structures on 3-manifolds

R. Beig (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We study TT-tensors on conformally flat 3-manifolds (M,g). The Cotton-York tensor linearized at g maps every symmetric tracefree tensor into one which is TT. The question as to whether this is the general solution to the TT-condition is viewed as a cohomological problem within an elliptic complex first found by Gasqui and Goldschmidt and reviewed in the present paper. The question is answered affirmatively when M is simply connected and has vanishing 2nd de Rham cohomology.
