It is well-known that solutions to the conformal formulation of the Einstein constraint equations are unique in the cases of constant mean curvature (CMC) and near constant mean curvature (near-CMC). However, the new far-from-constant mean…

We study local structure of the moduli space of compact Einstein metrics with respect to the boundary conformal metric and mean curvature. In dimension three, we confirm M. Anderson's conjecture in a strong sense, showing that the map from…

We review the properties of the constraint equations, from their geometric origin in hypersurface geometry through to their roles in the Cauchy problem and the Hamiltonian formulation of the Einstein equations. We then review properties of…

This paper produces explicit strongly Hermitian Einstein-Maxwell solutions on the smooth compact $4$-manifolds that are $S^2$-bundles over compact Riemann surfaces of any genus. This generalizes the existence results by C. LeBrun in…

One method of studying the asymptotic structure of spacetime is to apply Penrose's conformal rescaling technique. In this setting, the Einstein equations for the metric and the conformal factor in the unphysical spacetime degenerate where…

In this work, we investigate the geometry and topology of compact Einstein-type manifolds with nonempty boundary. First, we prove a sharp boundary estimate, as consequence we obtain under certain hypotheses that the Hawking mass is bounded…

A formulation of Einstein equations is presented that could yield advantages in the study of collisions of binary compact objects during regimes between linear-nonlinear transitions. The key idea behind this formulation is a separation of…

The constraint equations for smooth $[n+1]$-dimensional (with $n\geq 3$) Riemannian or Lorentzian spaces satisfying the Einstein field equations are considered. It is shown, regardless of the signature of the primary space, that the…
