Cover; Contents; I. Preliminary Results in 2- and 3-Dimensional Riemannian Geometry; II. Bianchi Equations in Space-Time; III. Construction of Global Space-Times. Proof of the Main Theorem.

Summary: 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.
