Global solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations (Q2269763): Difference between revisions

This paper gives a global existence result for the Einstein-Maxwell system with small, asymptotically flat data, in \(n\) space dimensions with \(n\geq 3\), using harmonic coordinates and the Lorentz gauge. The initial vector potential is \({\mathcal O}(r^{(1-n)/2-\alpha})\) for some \(\alpha>0\), where \(r\) is a radial coordinate. The methods rely heavily on those in a preprint by \textit{H. Lindblad} and \textit{I. Rodnianski} [\url{arXiv:math/0411109}] and in their article [Commun. Math. Phys. 256, No. 1, 43--110 (2005; Zbl 1081.83003)].
