Local linearization stability. (English) Zbl 0629.53064
Consider a compact coordinate patch, V, with given “background” metric, $$g_ 0$$, solving the vacuum Einstein equations. Let h be a solution of the linearized Einstein equations about $$g_ 0$$ in V. Then the Einstein equations are said to be locally linearization stable at $$g_ 0$$ if there exists a one parameter family of metrics g($$\lambda)$$ solving the Einstein equations on V such that $$h=dg/d\lambda$$ at $$\lambda =0$$. This paper proves the existence theorem which establishes local linearization stability about any such $$g_ 0$$.
