We introduce a proposal to modify Einstein's equations by embedding them in a larger symmetric hyperbolic system. The additional dynamical variables of the modified system are essentially first integrals of the original constraints. The…

We show that asymptotically hyperbolic initial data satisfying smallness conditions in dimensions $n\ge 3$, or fast decay conditions in $n\ge 5$, or a genericity condition in $n\ge 9$, can be deformed, by a deformation which is supported…
We derive a formula for the energy of asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) manifolds obtained by a gluing at infinity of two ALH manifolds. As an application we show that there exist three-dimensional conformally compact ALH manifolds…
We carry out "exotic gluings" a la Carlotto-Schoen for asymptotically hyperbolic general relativistic initial data sets. In particular we obtain a direct construction of non-trivial initial data sets which are exactly hyperbolic in large…
We present a procedure for asymptotic gluing of hyperboloidal initial data sets that preserves the shear-free condition. Our construction is modeled on a previous gluing construction by the last three named authors, but with significant…
