Smoothness at null infinity and the structure of initial data
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe our present understanding of the relations between the behaviour of asymptotically flat Cauchy data for Einstein’s vacuum field equations near space-like infinity and the asymptotic behaviour of their evolution in time at null infinity.

On smoothness-asymmetric null infinities
We discuss the existence of asymptotically Euclidean initial data sets to the vacuum Einstein field equations which would give rise (modulo an existence result for the evolution equations near spatial infinity) to developments with a past and a future null infinity of different smoothness. For simplicity, the analysis is restricted to the class of conformally flat, axially symmetric initial dat...
متن کاملA new class of obstructions to the smoothness of null infinity
Expansions of the gravitational field arising from the development of asymptotically Euclidean, time symmetric, conformally flat initial data are calculated in a neighbourhood of spatial and null infinities up to order 6. To this ends a certain representation of spatial infinity as a cylinder is used. This set up is based on the properties of conformal geodesics. It is found that these expansio...

The Conformal Einstein equations and the representation of spatial infinity as a cylinder introduced by Friedrich are used to analyse the behaviour of the gravitational field near null and spatial infinity for the development of data which are asymptotically Euclidean, conformally flat and time asymmetric. Our analysis allows for initial data whose second fundamental form is more general than t...

متن کاملEstimates for the Maxwell field near the spatial and null infinity of the Schwarzschild spacetime
It is shown how the gauge of the “regular finite initial value problem at spacelike infinity” can be used to construct a certain type of estimates for the Maxwell field propagating on a Schwarzschild background. These estimates are constructed with the objective of obtaining information about the smoothness near spacelike and null infinity of a wide class of solutions to the Maxwell equations.
