Around the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture in general relativity
Journées équations aux dérivées partielles (2008), article no. 9, 15 p.

We report on recent progress obtained on the construction and control of a parametrix to the homogeneous wave equation g φ=0, where is a rough metric satisfying the Einstein vacuum equations. Controlling such a parametrix as well as its error term when one only assumes L 2 bounds on the curvature tensor R of is a major step towards the proof of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture.
