Study session on the constraint equations: overview, progress and prospects
Scope of the session: This afternoon session will extend the ideas
introduced in the morning lectures by Bartnik and Isenberg. Emphasis will be put on
recent results and open problems concerning the gluing of known
solutions to produce new solutions of the Einstein constraint
equations. The following contributions are planned:
"On parameterizing the space of solutions", Y.Choquet-Bruhat (Paris VI);
"Gluing solutions: conformal approach" D.Pollack (Washington
State Univ., Seattle);
"Gluing solutions: non-conformal
approach", J.Corvino (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology);
"Vacuum space-times with many black holes", P.T. Chrusciel (Universit�de Tours);
"Asymptotically Flat Initial Data with Prescribed Regularity at Infinity", S. Dain (AEI Golm).
