Formation of Trapped Surfaces from Spacelike Initial Data

Xuantao Chen, Sergiu Klainerman

The paper constructs specific short‑pulse spacelike initial data for Einstein’s equations and shows how these data can be extended to asymptotically flat Cauchy data, leading to th…

A Physical space derivation of Morawetz-Energy estimates in Kerr spacetimes with large angular momentum

Lili He, Sergiu Klainerman

We revisit the derivation of Morawetz--energy estimates for scalar wave equations in the domain of outer communication of a Kerr spacetime \(\KK(a,m)\). Our goal is to develop robu…

Forward Construction of Vacuum Initial Data with Borderline Decay

Xuantao Chen, Sergiu Klainerman

We make use of the free data formalism developed in \cite{CK25} to construct solutions of the Einstein vacuum constraint equations by integrating in the forward direction. This, to…

Solving the constraint equation for general free data

Xuantao Chen, Sergiu Klainerman

We revisit the problem of solving the Einstein constraint equations in vacuum by a new method, which allows us to prescribe four scalar quantities, representing the full dynamical…

A canonical foliation on null infinity in perturbations of Kerr

Sergiu Klainerman, Dawei Shen, Jingbo Wan

Kerr stability for small angular momentum has been proved in the series of works by Klainerman-Szeftel, Giorgi-Klainerman-Szeftel and Shen. Some of the most basic conclusions of th…

Formation of Trapped Surfaces in Geodesic Foliation

Xuantao Chen, Sergiu Klainerman

We revisit the classical results of the formation of trapped surfaces for the Einstein vacuum equation relying on the geodesic foliation, rather than the double null foliation used…
