A convergent post-newtonian approximation for the constraint equations in general relativity
In this paper we study the -stability of closed hypersurfaces with constant -th mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In this setting, we obtain a characterization of the -stable ones through of the analysis of the first eigenvalue of an operator naturally attached to the -th mean curvature.
We discuss spacecraft Doppler tracking for detecting gravitational waves in which Doppler data recorded on the ground are linearly combined with Doppler measurements made on board a spacecraft. By using the four-link radio system first proposed by Vessot and Levine [1] we derive a new method for removing from the combined data the frequency fluctuations due to the Earth troposphere, ionosphere, and mechanical vibrations of the antenna on the ground. This method also reduces the frequency fluctuations...
