This work consists of two distinct parts. In the first part we present a new method for solving the initial value problem of general relativity. Given any spatial metric with a surface orthogonal Killing field and two freely specified…

The dynamics of a test particle in a non-spinning binary black hole system of equal masses is numerically investigated. The binary system is modeled in the context of the pseudo-Newtonian circular restricted three-body problem, such that…

We evolve the binary black hole initial data family proposed by Bishop {\em et al.} in the limit in which the black holes are close to each other. We present an exact solution of the linearized initial value problem based on their proposal…

We consider the Einstein-Maxwell system as a Cauchy initial value problem taking the electric and magnetic fields as independent variables. Maxwell's equations in curved spacetimes are derived in detail using a 3+1 formalism and their…

Solving Einstein's constraint equations for the construction of black hole initial data requires handling the black hole singularity. Typically, this is done either with the excision method, in which the black hole interior is excised from…

Primordial black holes (PBHs) provide a well-motivated non-particle candidate for dark matter, requiring an enhancement of curvature perturbations on small inflationary scales consistent with observational constraints. In this work we study…

We present a new code, named COCAL - Compact Object CALculator, for the computation of equilibriums and quasiequilibrium initial data sets of single or binary compact objects of all kinds. In the cocal code, those solutions are calculated…

We calculate the primordial black hole (PBH) mass spectrum produced from a collapse of the primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe using, as an input, several theoretical models giving the curvature perturbation power spectra…

We calculate puncture initial data, corresponding to single and binary black holes with linear momenta, which solve the constraint equations of D dimensional vacuum gravity. The data are generated by a modification of the pseudo-spectral…

Reducing orbital eccentricity in numerical relativity simulations of binary black holes is essential for producing astrophysically relevant gravitational wave models, as many of these systems are expected to be near-circular in nature.…

Dynamical black holes in the non-perturbative regime are not mathematically well understood. Studying approximate symmetries of spacetimes describing dynamical black holes gives an insight into their structure. Utilising the property that…

Near-Kerr black hole initial datasets are constructed by applying either the parabolic-hyperbolic or the algebraic-hyperbolic form of the constraints. In both cases, strongly and weakly asymptotically flat initial datasets with desirable…

It was shown recently that the constraints on the initial data for Einstein's equations may be posed as an evolutionary problem [9]. In one of the proposed two methods the constraints can be replaced by a first order symmetrizable…
