I will report my work [1,2] on the geometric criterion for the breakdown of Einstein vacuum space-times with the constant mean curvature (CMC) foliation. In this work, the criterion is formulated in terms of time-integrability of the sup- norms of the second fundamental form and derivatives of the lapse function
associated to CMC foliation of the space-time. This result is obtained through deriving uniform lower bound on the null radius of injectivity of the light cones.
