Abstract: Let $mathcalH$ denote the future outgoing null hypersurface emanating from a spacelike 2-sphere $S$ in a vacuum spacetime $(mathcalM,mathbfg)$. In this paper we study the so-called canonical foliation on $mathcalH$ introduced by Klainerman and Nicol`o and show that the corresponding geometry is controlled locally only in terms of the initial geometry on $S$ and the $L^2$ curvature flux through $mathcalH$. In particular, we show that the ingoing and outgoing null expansions $mathrmtrchi$ and $mathrmtrunderlinechi$ are both locally uniformly bounded. The proof of our estimates relies on a generalisation of the methods of Klainerman and Rodnianski, and Alexakis, Shao and Wang where the geodesic foliation on null hypersurfaces $mathcalH$ is studied. The results of this paper, while of independent interest, are essential for the proof of the spacelike-characteristic bounded $L^2$ curvature theorem by Czimek and Graf.
