Abstract

In this paper, we investigate spacelike graphs defined over a domain $\Omega\subset M^{n}$ in the Lorentz manifold $M^{n}\times\mathbb{R}$ with the metric $-{\rm d}s^{2}+\sigma$, where $M^{n}$ is a complete Riemannian $n$-manifold with the metric $\sigma$, $\Omega$ has piecewise smooth boundary, and $\mathbb{R}$ denotes the Euclidean $1$-space. We prove an interesting stability result for translating spacelike graphs in $M^{n}\times\mathbb{R}$ under a conformal transformation.
