On complete stationary vacuum initial data

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We describe a proof of M.T. Anderson's result on the rigidity of complete stationary initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations in spacetime dimension 3 + 1, under an extra assumption on the norm of the stationary Killing vector field. The argument only involves basic comparison geometry along with some Bochner-Weitzenböck formula techniques. We also discuss on the possibility to extend those techniques in higher dimensions.
