We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an initial data set for the vacuum conformal Einstein field equations to give rise to a spacetime development in possession of a Killing spinor. The fact that the conformal Einstein field…

We extend Dain's construction of a geometric invariant characterising static initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein field equations to situations with a non-vanishing extrinsic curvature. This invariant gives a measure of how much the…
