Gluing for the Einstein constraint equations

Initial data for the Einstein equations must satisfy a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, the Einstein constraint equations. Constructing interesting solutions of the constraint equations can then lead to interesting spacetime evolutions. Over the past twenty-five years, various glu...

description Initial data for the Einstein equations must satisfy a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, the Einstein constraint equations. Constructing interesting solutions of the constraint equations can then lead to interesting spacetime evolutions. Over the past twenty-five years, various gluing methods to construct solutions of the constraints have shed light on some long-standing questions. In this article we survey some of the methods and results achieved to date.
