Einstein-Yang-Mills fields in conformally compact manifolds

Abstract

We study the deformation theory of Einstein-Yang-Mills fields over conformally compact, asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that if an Einstein-Yang-Mills field $(g_0,{\omega }_0)$ is trivial (which means that $g_0$ is Poincaré-Einstein and ${\omega }_0$ is a flat connection on a principal bundle over the underlying manifold) and non-degenerate in the appropriate sense then any sufficiently small perturbation of its boundary data at infinity may be realized as the boundary data of some Einstein-Yang-Mills field. This result is obtained as an application of the $0$-calculus of Mazzeo and Melrose and may be viewed as a natural extension of previous results by Graham-Lee, Lee and Usula.
