The global stability of Minkowski spacetime has been proven in the celebrated work of Christodoulou-Klainerman in 1993. In 2007, Bieri extended the result of Christodoulou-Klainerman under lower decay and regularity assumptions on the initial data. In this talk, I will introduce my recent work, which extends the result of Bieri to minimal decay assumptions. Moreover, I will also discuss another recent work, which proves that the exterior stability of Minkowski holds with decay which is borderline.
