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…

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…

The conformal method has been effective for parametrizing solutions to the Einstein constraint equations on closed 3-manifolds. However, it is still not well-understood; for example, existence of solutions to the conformal equations for…
