We begin a study of a multi-parameter family of Cauchy initial-value problems for the modified nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, analyzing the solution in the semiclassical limit. We use the inverse scattering transform for this equation,…
We review results on the spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat Einstein-Vlasov system. We focus on a recent result where we found explicit conditions on the initial data which guarantee the formation of a black hole in the evolution.…

We present a set of dynamical equations based on Ashtekar's extension of the Einstein equation. The system forces the space-time to evolve to the manifold that satisfies the constraint equations or the reality conditions or both as the…
We discuss the implementation, to the case of compact manifolds, of the perturbative method of Friedrich-Butscher for the construction of solutions to the vaccum Einstein constraint equations. This method is of a perturbative nature and…

Based on scale critical initial data, we construct smooth asymptotically flat Cauchy initial data for the Einstein vacuum system that does not contain Marginally Outer Trapped Surfaces (MOTS) but whose future evolution contains a trapped…

We study solutions to the static vacuum Einstein equations on exterior domains with prescribed metric and mean curvature on the inner boundary. It is proved that for any such boundary data near the standard round boundary data in Euclidean…
We study Yamabe metrics, and the moduli space of Yamabe metrics, on an arbitrary closed 3-manifold M. The main focus is on the boundary behavior of the moduli space, i.e. the behavior of degenerating sequences of unit volume Yamabe metrics…
It has been observed by Maldacena that one can extract asymptotically anti-de Sitter Einstein $4$-metrics from Bach-flat spacetimes by imposing simple principles and data choices. We cast this problem in a conformally compact Riemannian…
We study the dynamics of Einstein's equations in Ashtekar's variables from the point of view of the theory of hyperbolic systems of evolution equations. We extend previous results and show that by a suitable modification of the Hamiltonian…
A new constraint suppressing formulation of the Einstein evolution equations is presented, generalizing the five-parameter first-order system due to Kidder, Scheel and Teukolsky (KST). The auxiliary fields, introduced to make the KST system…
Validating the results of [A.M. Abrahams and C.R. Evans, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2980] poses a numerical challenge and has been inspiring a lot of research. We join these efforts and present our first steps to achieve this goal: we discuss a…
In the first half of this article, we survey the new quasi-local and total angular momentum and center of mass defined in [9] and summarize the important properties of these definitions. To compute these conserved quantities involves…
We present the details of an algorithm for the global evolution of asymptotically flat, axisymmetric spacetimes, based upon a characteristic initial value formulation using null cones as evolution hypersurfaces. We identify a new static…
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…
Einstein's system of equations in the ADM decomposition involves two subsystems of equations: evolution equations and constraint equations. For numerical relativity, one typically solves the constraint equations only on the initial time…
A strongly well-posed initial boundary value problem based upon constraint-preserving boundary conditions of the Sommerfeld type has been established for the harmonic formulation of the vacuum Einstein's equations. These Sommerfeld…
The Bartnik mass is a notion of quasi-local mass which is remarkably difficult to compute. Mantoulidis and Schoen [2016] developed a novel technique to construct asymptotically flat extensions of minimal Bartnik data in such a way that the…
