Elliptic boundary value problems for the stationary vacuum spacetimes (Q2288102)

This paper deals with the study of the ellipticity of boundary value problems associated to the stationary vacuum spacetimes. The main result establishes that the stationary vacuum field equations are elliptic subjected to a geometrically natural collection of boundary conditions in the projection formalism. As an application of this abstract result, the author proves that the moduli space of stationary vacuum spacetimes admits Banach manifold structure.
