我们研究共形紧致化闵可夫斯基时空上的线性化自旋-2场，在过去类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^-$上给定初始数据，系统经空间无穷远的柱面演化至未来类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^+$。为避免对数奇点的产生、保持光滑剥离行为，我们推导了过去类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^-$处可自由指定的入射引力辐射$\tilde{\tau}_0$需满足的显式条件，以确保初始数据正则。对紧支集数据，我们得到了保证整个系统正则性和紧支集的充要积分条件；在最简情形下构造了精确初始数据的实例，对一般情形提出了计算剩余$\tilde{\tau}_k$以得到完整初始数据集的数值方法。我们采用两种规范进行数值演化，分别对应空间无穷远邻域或整个闵可夫斯基时空的紧致化，证明了系统从过去类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^-$到未来类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^+$的稳定传播。这些结果为建立引力辐射的完全全局模拟框架奠定了基础，也阐明了过去类光无穷远$\tilde{\tau}^-$上初始数据在决定渐近结构中的作用。
英文摘要
We study the linearised spin-2 field on conformally compactified Minkowski spacetime. Initial data are prescribed on past null infinity $\mathscr{I}^-$, and the system is evolved through the cylinder at spatial infinity to future null infinity $\mathscr{I}^+$. To avoid the development of logarithmic singularities and thereby preserve smooth peeling behaviour, we derive explicit conditions on the freely specifiable ingoing gravitational radiation $ψ_0$ at $\mathscr{I}^-$ that ensure regular initial data. For compactly supported data, we obtain necessary and sufficient integral conditions guaranteeing regularity and compact support of the full system. In the simplest cases, we construct examples of exact initial data, while for the general case, we present a numerical procedure that computes the remaining $ψ_k$ to obtain a full initial data set. We perform numerical evolutions using two gauges corresponding to compactification of either a neighbourhood of spatial infinity or the entire Minkowski spacetime, and demonstrate stable propagation of the system from $\mathscr{I}^-$ to $\mathscr{I}^+$. These results provide a step towards a framework for fully global simulations of gravitational radiation and clarify the role of initial data on $\mathscr{I}^-$ in determining asymptotic structure.
