Nonlinear Stability of an Expanding Universe with the S 1 Isometry Group

  • Chapter
Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics

Abstract

We prove the existence for an infinite proper time in the expanding direction of spacetimes satisfying the vacuum Einstein equations on a manifold of the form \( \sum { \times {S^1} \times R}\) where Σ is a compact surface of genus G >1. The Cauchy data are supposed to be invariant with respect to the group S1 and sufficiently small, but we do not impose a restrictive hypothesis made in the previous work [1]
