We continue the study of the Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds with boundary initiated by Holst and Tsogtgerel. In particular, we consider the full system and prove existence of solutions in both the near-CMC and…
We construct low regularity solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations. In particular, on 3-manifolds we obtain solutions with metrics in $H^s\loc$ with $s>{3\over 2}$. The theory of maximal asymptotically Euclidean solutions of…

An almost Einstein manifold satisfies equations which are a slight weakening of the Einstein equations; Einstein metrics, Poincare-Einstein metrics, and compactifications of certain Ricci-flat asymptotically locally Euclidean structures are…
We solve Einstein's constraint equations in the conformal thin-sandwich decomposition to model thin shells of non-interacting particles in circular orbit about a non-rotating black hole. We use these simple models to explore the effects of…
In this note, we construct new examples of Lorentzian Sasaki-Einstein (LSE) metrics on Smale manifolds $M.$ It has already been established in \cite{Gmz2} that such metrics exist on the so-called torsion free Smale manifolds, i.e. the…
The aim of this article is to construct initial data for the Einstein equations on manifolds of the form R n+1 x T m , which are asymptotically flat at infinity, without assuming any symmetry condition in the compact direction. We use the…
Numerical solutions to the Einstein constraint equations are constructed on a selection of compact orientable three-dimensional manifolds with non-trivial topologies. A simple constant mean curvature solution and a somewhat more complicated…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for bound states in scalar theories is reformulated and solved in terms of a generalized spectral representation directly in Minkowski space. This differs from the conventional approach, where the BSE is…
Perez proved some $L^2$ inequalities for closed convex hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, more generally, for closed hypersurfaces with non-negative Ricci curvature, immersed in an Einstein manifold. In this…
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…
In this paper we prove some rigidity theorems associated to $Q$-curvature analysis on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds, which are inspired by the analysis of conservation principles within fourth order gravitational theories. A…
We construct low regularity solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds. On 3-manifolds we obtain solutions with metrics in $H^s$ where $s>3/2$. The constant mean curvature (CMC) conformal method leads to a…
In this paper we take the perspective introduced by Case-Shu-Wei of studying warped product Einstein metrics through the equation for the Ricci curvature of the base space. They call this equation on the base the $m$-Quasi Einstein…
In this paper we study elliptic PDEs on compact Gromov-Hausdorff limit spaces of Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bounds. In particular we establish continuities of geometric quantities, which include solutions of Poisson's…
In this article we initiate a systematic study of the well-posedness theory of the Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds with boundary. This is an important problem in general relativity, and it is particularly important in…
We consider the conformal decomposition of Einstein's constraint equations introduced by Lichnerowicz and York, on a closed manifold. We establish existence of non-CMC weak solutions using a combination of a priori estimates for the…
Within a semiclassical framework, we investigate spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations that (i) develop a trapped region within a finite time as measured by distant observers, and (ii) remain sufficiently regular at the…
In this short note, we give a construction of solutions to the Einstein constraint equations using the well known conformal method. Our method gives a result similar to the one in [15, 16, 24], namely existence when the so called TT-tensor…
