We consider 1 spacelike Killing vector field reductions of 4-d vacuum general relativity. We restrict attention to cases in which the manifold of orbits of the Killing field is $R^{3}$. The reduced Einstein equations are equivalent to those…

We consider the 3-dimensional formulation of Einstein's theory for spacetimes possessing a non-null Killing field $\xi^a$. It is known that for the vacuum case some of the basic field equations are deducible from the others. It will be…

Rapid growth of constraints is often observed in free evolutions of highly gravitating systems. To alleviate this problem we investigate the effect of adding spatial derivatives of the constraints to the right hand side of the evolution…
