Non CMC Conformal Data Sets Which Do Not Produce Solutions of the Einstein Constraint Equations

چکیده
The conformal formulation provides a method for constructing and parametrizing solutions of the Einstein constraint equations by mapping freely chosen sets of conformal data to solutions, provided a certain set of coupled, elliptic determined PDEs (whose expression depends on the chosen conformal data) admit a unique solution. For constant mean curvature (CMC) data, it is known in almost all cases which sets of conformal data allow these PDEs to have solutions, and which do not. For non CMC data, much less is known. Here we exhibit the first class of non CMC data for which we can prove that no solutions exist.

Non-cmc Solutions to the Einstein Constraint Equations on Asymptotically Euclidean Manifolds with Apparent Horizon Boundaries
In this article we further develop the solution theory for the Einstein constraint equations on an n-dimensional, asymptotically Euclidean manifold M with interior boundary Σ. Building on recent results for both the asymptotically Euclidean and compact with boundary settings, we show existence of far-from-CMC and near-CMC solutions to the conformal formulation of the Einstein constraints when n...
متن کاملKIDs are non-generic
We prove that the space-time developments of generic solutions of the vacuum constraint Einstein equations do not possess any global or local Killing vectors, when Cauchy data are prescribed on an asymptotically flat Cauchy surface, or on a compact Cauchy surface with mean curvature close to a constant, or for CMC asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets. More generally, we show that non-exi...

متن کاملAn Alternative between Non-unique and Negative Yamabe Solutions to the Conformal Formulation of the Einstein Constraint Equations
The conformal method has been effective for parametrizing solutions to the Einstein constraint equations on closed 3-manifolds. However, it is still not wellunderstood; for example, existence of solutions to the conformal equations for zero or negative Yamabe metrics is still unknown without the so-called “CMC” or “nearCMC” assumptions. The first existence results without such assumptions, term...
متن کاملA class of solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations with freely specified mean curvature
We give a sufficient condition, with no restrictions on the mean curvature, under which the conformal method can be used to generate solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equations on compact manifolds. The condition requires a so-called global supersolution but does not require a global subsolution. As a consequence, we construct a class of solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equ...
