The aim of this work is to provide a proof of the nonlinear gravitational stability of the Minkowski space-time. More precisely, the book offers a constructive proof of global, smooth solutions to the Einstein Vacuum Equations, which look, in the large, like the Minkowski space-time. In particular, these solutions are free of black holes and singularities. The work contains a detailed description of the sense in which these solutions are close to the Minkowski space-time, in all directions. It thus provides the mathematical framework in which we can give a rigorous derivation of the laws of gravitation proposed by Bondi. ... Read more

Reviews for The Global Nonlinear Stability of the Minkowski Space (PMS-41)
Winner of the 1999 Bocher Memorial Prize, American Mathematical Association "This book presents the authors' theorem on the stability of Minkowski space, a landmark in the development of mathematical relativity. The book is quite self-contained... The book is not easy to read, due to the very technical nature of its contents, but under the circumstances the quality of the exposition ... Read more
