Simple numerical solutions to the Einstein constraints on various three-manifolds. (English) Zbl 1515.83038

Summary: Numerical solutions to the Einstein constraint equations are constructed on a selection of compact orientable three-dimensional manifolds with non-trivial topologies. A simple constant mean curvature solution and a somewhat more complicated non-constant mean curvature solution are computed on example manifolds from three of the eight Thursten geometrization classes. The constant mean curvature solutions found here are also solutions to the Yamabe problem that transforms a geometry into one with constant scalar curvature.
