Abstract

top
The “gluing” method to find solutions to the relativistic constraint equations is reviewed. In particular, we describe the Corvino-Schoen method to construct families of solutions on a non-compact manifold with prescribed geometry on an asymptotic end, with emphasis on the “non-localized” gluing. We then provide a list of results obtained by various authors using such techniques, including the question of gluing Riemannian metrics while preserving their (constant) scalar curvature. We eventually give some applications in geometric analysis and in general relativity.
