On the Construction of Time-Symmetric Black Hole Initial Data

preprint1998arXivOpen access

Abstract

We review in a pedagogical fashion the 3+1-split which serves to put Einstein's equations into the form of a dynamical system with constraints. We then discuss the constraint equations under the simplifying assumption of time-symmetry. Multi-Black-Hole data are presented and more explicitly described in the case of two holes. The effect of different topologies is emphasized.
