Global simulations of Minkowski spacetime including spacelike infinity

In this work, we study linearized gravitational fields on the entire Minkowski spacetime including spacelike infinity. The generalized conformal field equations linearized about a Minkowski background are utilized for this purpose. In principle, this conformal representation of Einstein’s equations...

Description
Summary:In this work, we study linearized gravitational fields on the entire Minkowski spacetime including spacelike infinity. The generalized conformal field equations linearized about a Minkowski background are utilized for this purpose. In principle, this conformal representation of Einstein’s equations can be used to carry out global simulations of Minkowski spacetime. We thoroughly investigate this possibility.
