In this paper, we construct GCM hypersurfaces, which play a central role in extending GCM admissible spacetimes in \\cite{KS:main} where decay estimates are derived in the context of nonlinear stability of Kerr family for $|a|\\ll m$. As in \\cite{KS}, the central idea of the construction of GCM hypersurfaces is to concatenate a $1$--parameter family of GCM spheres of \\cite{KS:Kerr1} by solving an ODE system. The goal of this paper is to get rid of the symmetry restrictions in the GCM procedure introduced in \\cite{KS} and thus remove an essential obstruction in extending the results to a full stability proof of the Kerr family.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-05-20T21:53:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "construction", "perturbations", "full stability proof", "construct gcm hypersurfaces", "general covariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 106, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
