Global existence conjecture for vacuum Einstein equations with a spacelike translational Killing field
Global existence conjecture for vacuum Einstein equations with a spacelike translational Killing field
Let be asymptotically flat Cauchy data for the -dimensional vacuum Einstein equations admitting a spacelike translational Killing field, and let its maximal Cauchy development be the corresponding maximal globally hyperbolic solution. Global existence conjecture. Maximal Cauchy developments of asymptotically flat solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations with a spacelike translational Killing field are regular and geodesically complete. This is an intermediate goal toward the general Cosmic Censorship conjectures for large-data solutions of the Einstein equations. The claim remains open in this setting, although global regularity and cosmic censorship are known in certain more symmetric cases.
