Abstract: We provide a significant extension of the Hyperboloidal Foliation Method introduced by the authors in 2014 in order to establish global existence results for systems of quasilinear wave equations posed on a curved space, when wave equations and Klein-Gordon equations are coupled. This method is based on a (3+1) foliation (of the interior of a future light cone in Minkowski spacetime) by spacelike and asymptotically hyperboloidal hypersurfaces. In the new formulation of the method, we succeed to cover wave-Klein-Gordon systems containing "strong interaction" terms at the level of the metric, and then generalize our method in order to establish a new existence theory for the Einstein equations of general relativity. Following pioneering work by Lindblad and Rodnianski on the Einstein equations in wave coordinates, we establish the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime for self-gravitating massive scalar fields.
