Description
The aim of this work is to provide a proof of the nonlinear gravitational stability of the Minkowski space-time. More precisely, the book offers a constructive proof of global, smooth solutions to the Einstein Vacuum Equations, which look, in the large, like the Minkowski space-time. In particular, these solutions are free of black holes and singul
Reviews
Winner of the 1999 Bocher Memorial Prize, American Mathematical Association "This book presents the authors' theorem on the stability of Minkowski space, a landmark in the development of mathematical relativity. The book is quite self-contained... The book is not easy to read, due to the very technical nature of its contents, but under the circumstances the quality of the exposition is excellent."--Mathematical Reviews
