Résumé
Abstract

Nous montrons que les équations d'Einstein de la relativité générale exprimées en coordonnées des ondes satisfont une « condition de nullité faible ». Dans un futur article, nous utilisons ceci pour démontrer un résultat global d'existence pour des équations d'Einstein en coordonnées des ondes avec donnèes initiales petites.

We show that Einstein's equations of General Relativity expressed in wave coordinates satisfy a ‘weak null condition’. In a forthcoming article we will use this to prove a global existence result for Einstein's equations in wave coordinates with small initial data.
