Title: On the evolution problem for the Einstein-Vlasov system



Abstract:
This  talk is about the evolution problem associated to the 
Einstein-Vlasov equations, with initial data specified on two 
transversally intersecting
characteristic hypersurfaces. The main existence and uniqueness result 
of the work is obtained by a contracting mapping principle, combined with
Sobolev inequalities and Moser estimates as well as energy inequalities 
for first order and second order linear hyperbolic equations. The whole
investigation is conducted in appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces.
