Numerical Relativity in 3+1 Dimensions

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-09-27 v1

Abstract

Numerical relativity is finally approaching a state where the evolution of rather general (3+1)-dimensional data sets can be computed in order to solve the Einstein equations. After a general introduction, three topics of current interest are briefly reviewed: binary black hole mergers, the evolution of strong gravitational waves, and shift conditions for neutron star binaries.
