Global Stability of the Open Milne Spacetime
摘要
The open Milne cosmological spacetime has a 3-dimensional Cauchy surface isometric to the (non-compact) hyperbolic space. We prove the globally nonlinear stability of the open Milne spacetime for both massive and massless Einstein-scalar field equations and show that as time goes to infinity, the spatial metric tends to the hyperbolic metric. The proof is based on the Gaussian normal coordinates, in which the decay rates of gravity are determined by the expanding geometry of Milne spacetime.
