Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold on which a trace-free and divergence-free $\sigma \in W^{1,p}$ and a positive function $\tau \in W^{1,p}$, $p > n$, are fixed. In this paper, we study the vacuum Einstein constraint equations…
We give a general survey of the solution of the Einstein constraints by the conformal method on n dimensional compact manifolds. We prove some new results about solutions with low regularity (solutions in $H_{2}$ when n=3), and solutions…
