Global stability of Minkowski spacetime with minimal decay
read the original abstract
The global stability of Minkowski spacetime, a milestone in the field, has been proven in the celebrated work of Christodoulou and Klainerman \cite{Ch-Kl} in 1993. In 2007, Bieri \cite{Bieri} has extended the result of \cite{Ch-Kl} under lower decay and regularity assumptions on the initial data. In this paper, we extend the result of \cite{Bieri} to minimal decay assumptions. Also, concerning the treatment of curvature estimates, we replace the vectorfield method used in \cite{Ch-Kl,Bieri} by the $r^p$--weighted estimates of Dafermos and Rodnianski \cite{Da-Ro}.
