The conformal Einstein field equations with massless Vlasov matter
[Équations de champs conformes d’Einstein couplées à de la matière de Vlasov sans masse]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 71 (2021) no. 2, pp. 799-842.

Nous prouvons la stabilité de l’espace-temps de de Sitter, solution du système d’Einstein–Vlasov avec des particules sans masse. Nous considérons également la stabilité semi-globale de l’espace-temps de Minkowski pour le même système. La preuve de la stabilité repose sur l’usage de techniques conformes, et plus précisément les équations de champs conformes d’Einstein introduites par Friedrich. Nous exploitons l’invariance conforme de l’équation de Vlasov sans masse et adaptons le résultat d’existence locale en temps suffisamment long de Kato au système d’Einstein–Vlasov.

We prove the stability of de Sitter space-time as a solution to the Einstein–Vlasov system with massless particles. The semi-global stability of Minkowski space-time is also addressed. The proof relies on conformal techniques, namely Friedrich’s conformal Einstein field equations. We exploit the conformal invariance of the massless Vlasov equation on the cotangent bundle and adapt Kato’s local existence theorem for symmetric hyperbolic systems to prove a long enough time of existence for solutions of the evolution system implied by the Vlasov equation and the conformal Einstein field equations.
