Einstein-type elliptic systems

Abstract

In this paper we analyse semi-linear systems of partial differential equations which are motivated by the conformal formulation of the Einstein constraint equations coupled with realistic physical fields on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds. In particular, electromagnetic fields give rise to this kind of system. In this context, under suitable conditions, we prove a general existence theorem for such systems, and, in particular, under smallness assumptions on the free parameters of the problem, we prove existence of far from CMC (near CMC) Yamabe positive (Yamabe non-positive) solutions for charged dust coupled to the Einstein equations, satisfying a trapped surface condition on the boundary. As a bypass, we prove a Helmholtz decomposition on AE manifolds with boundary, which extends and clarifies previously known results.
