摘要
By using the conformal method, solutions of the Einstein-scalar ficld gravitational constraint equations are obtained. Handling scalar fields is a bit more challenging than handling matter fields such as fluids, Maxwell fields or Yang-Mills fields, because the scalar field introduces three extra terms into the Lichnerowicz equation, rather than just one. The proofs are constructive and allow for arbitrary dimension (〉 2) as well as low regularity initial data.
