Regularity and geometric properties of solutions of the Einstein-Vacuum equations
Journées équations aux dérivées partielles (2002), article no. 15, 14 p.

We review recent results concerning the study of rough solutions to the initial value problem for the Einstein vacuum equations expressed relative to wave coordinates. We develop new analytic methods based on Strichartz type inequalities which results in a gain of half a derivative relative to the classical result. Our methods blend paradifferential techniques with a geometric approach to the derivation of decay estimates. The latter allows us to take full advantage of the specific structure of the Einstein equations.
