In their award winning paper, the authors prove the global stability of the Minkowski space viewed as the trivial solution of the Einstein–Vlasov system. The result proves that small amplitude gravitational waves, when interacting with matter distributions, disperse. It explains in detail how the spacetime evolves to its flat ground state in that scenario.
