Global Non-Linearly Stable Large-Data Solutions to the Einstein Scalar Field System

Abstract: I study a class of global, causal geodesically complete solutions to the spherically symmetric Einstein scalar field (SSESF) system . Extending results of Luk-Oh (Quantitative Decay Rates for Dispersive Solutions to the Einstein-Scalar Field System in Spherical Symmetry, arXiv:1402.2984), Luk-Oh-Yang (Solutions to the Einstein-Scalar-Field System in Spherical Symmetry with Large Bounded Variation Norms, arXiv:1605.03893), I provide new bounds controlling higher derivatives of both the metric components of the solution and the scalar field itself for large data solutions to SSESF. Moreover, by constructing a particular set of generalized wave-coordinates, I show that, assuming sufficient regularity of the data, these solutions are globally non-linearly stable to non-spherically symmetric perturbations by recent results of Luk and Oh. In particular, I demonstrate the existence of a large collection of non-trivial examples of large data, globally nonlinearly stable, dispersive solutions to the Einstein scalar field system.
