Boundary Regularity, Uniqueness and Non-uniqueness for Ah Einstein Metrics on 4-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies several aspects of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics, mostly on 4-manifolds. We prove boundary regularity (at infinity) for such metrics and establish uniqueness under natural conditions on the boundary data. By examination of explicit black hole metrics, it is shown that neither uniqueness nor finiteness holds in general for AH Einstein metrics with a prescribed conformal infinity. We then describe natural conditions which are sufficient to ensure finiteness.

On the Structure of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics
LetM be an (n+1)-dimensional manifold with non-empty boundary, satisfying π1(M,∂M) = 0. The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on M is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty. We also prove full boundary regularity for such metrics in dimension 4 and a local existence and uniqueness theorem for such metrics with p...
متن کاملSome Results on the Structure of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics
The main result of this paper is that the space of conformally compact Einstein metrics on any given manifold is a smooth, infinite dimensional Banach manifold, provided it is non-empty, generalizing earlier work of Graham-Lee and Biquard. We also prove full boundary regularity for such metrics in dimension 4 and a local existence and uniqueness theorem for such metrics with prescribed metric a...
متن کاملWarped product and quasi-Einstein metrics
Warped products provide a rich class of physically significant geometric objects. Warped product construction is an important method to produce a new metric with a base manifold and a fibre. We construct compact base manifolds with a positive scalar curvature which do not admit any non-trivial quasi-Einstein warped product, and non compact complete base manifolds which do not admit any non-triv...

We survey recent results and current issues on the existence and uniqueness of Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds. A number of open problems and conjectures are presented during the course of the discussion.
متن کاملThe Lichnerowicz Equation on Compact Manifolds with Boundary
In this article we initiate a systematic study of the well-posedness theory of the Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds with boundary. This is an important problem in general relativity, and it is particularly important in numerical relativity, as it arises in models of Cauchy surfaces containing asymptotically flat ends and/or trapped surfaces. Moreover, a number of technical obs...
