We construct a black hole initial data for the Einstein equations with prescribed scalar curvature, or more precisely a piece of initial data contained inside the black hole. The constraints translate into a parabolic equation, with radius…

It is shown that the vacuum Einstein equations for an arbitrary stationary axisymmetric space-time can be completely separated by re-formulating the Ernst equation and its associated linear system in terms of a non-autonomous…

Using the implicit function theorem, we prove existence of solutions of the so-called conformally covariant split system on compact 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. They give rise to non-Constant Mean Curvature (non-CMC) vacuum initial…

A Hilbert manifold structure is described for the ADM phase space of asymptotically flat initial data $(g,\pi)$ with local $H^2\times H^1$ Sobolev regularity. Solutions of the constraint equations form a Hilbert submanifold. A regularized…

We take a step towards characterising stationary data for the vacuum Einstein equations, by finding a necessary condition on initial data for which the evolution is a solution of the vacuum equations admitting a Killing vector, which is…

It is well known that in a generally covariant gravitational theory the choice of spacetime scalars as coordinates yields phase-space observables (or "invariants"). However their relation to the symmetry group of diffeomorphism…
