We will talk about recent work establishing a quantitative nonlinear scattering theory for asymptotically de Sitter solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations in (n+1) dimensions with n ≥ 4 even, which are determined by small scattering data at future infinity and past infinity. We will also explain why the case of even spatial dimension n poses significant challenges compared to its odd counterpart and was left open by the previous works in the literature.
