Hyperboloidal data and evolution

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We discuss the hyperboloidal evolution problem in general relativity from a numerical perspective, and present some new results. Families of initial data which are the hyperboloidal analogue of Brill waves are constructed numerically, and a systematic search for apparent horizons is performed. Schwarzschild-Kruskal spacetime is discussed as a first application of Friedrich's general conformal field equations in spherical symmetry, and the Maxwell equations are discussed on a nontrivial background as a toy model for continuum instabilities.
