Cosmological initial data without periodic boundary conditions

We apply the parabolic-hyperbolic formulation of the Einstein constraint equations to generate cosmological initial data. The freely specifiable geometric data correspond to flat Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker background, while the matter sector contains localized anisotropic perturbations of a perfect fluid. Unlike the standard approach, our method evolves the constraints outward from regular data at the origin and therefore requires no boundary conditions. This makes our method well suited as a starting point in investigating systematic biases introduced by commonly adopted boundary conditions, such as periodic boundaries. A second advantage concerns uniqueness: standard elliptic solvers may fail when multiple solutions exist, whereas solving the constraints as a well-posed evolutionary system always yields a unique solution. To demonstrate our method, we implement it numerically and generate cosmological initial data with localized anisotropic perfect fluid perturbations.

Hyperboloidal initial data without logarithmic singularities

Andersson and Chruściel showed that generic asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets admit polyhomogeneous expansions, and that only a non-generic subclass of solutions of the conformal constraint equations is free of logarithmic singularities. The purpose of this work is twofold. First, within the evolutionary framework of the constraint equations, we show that the existence of a well-defined Bondi mass brings the asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets into a subclass whose Cauchy development guaranteed to admit a smooth boundary, by virtue of the results of Andersson and Chruściel. Second, by generalizing a recent result of Beyer and Ritchie, we show that the existence of well-defined Bondi mass and angular momentum, together with some mild restrictions on the free data, implies that the generic solutions of the parabolic-hyperbolic form of the constraint equations are completely free of logarithmic singularities. We also provide numerical evidence to show that in the vicinity of Kerr, asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data without logarithmic singularities can indeed be constructed.

Is it possible to construct asymptotically flat initial data using the evolutionary forms of the constraints?

Near-Kerr black hole initial datasets are constructed by applying either the parabolic-hyperbolic or the algebraic-hyperbolic form of the constraints. In both cases, strongly and weakly asymptotically flat initial datasets with desirable falloff rates are produced by controlling only the monopole part of one of the freely specifiable variables. The viability of the applied method is verified by numerically integrating the evolutionary forms of the constraint equations in the case of various near-Kerr configurations.

Numerical investigations of the asymptotics of solutions to the evolutionary form of the constraints

Systematic numerical investigations of the asymptotics of near Schwarzschild vacuum initial data sets is carried out by inspecting solutions to the parabolic-hyperbolic and to the algebraic-hyperbolic forms of the constraints, respectively. One of our most important findings is that the concept of near Schwarzschild configurations, applied previously in [4, 5], is far too restrictive. It is demonstrated that by relaxing the conditions on the freely specifiable part of the data a more appropriate notion of near Schwarzschild initial data configurations can be defined which allows us to generate asymptotically flat initial data configurations.

Numerical investigation of the dynamics of linear spin $s$ fields on Kerr background I. Late time tails of spin $s = \pm 1, \pm 2$ fields

The time evolution of linear fields of spin $s = \pm 1$ and $s = \pm 2$ on Kerr black hole spacetimes are investigated by solving the homogeneous Teukolsky equation numerically. The applied numerical setup is based on a combination of conformal compactification and the hyperbolic initial value problem. The evolved basic variables are expanded in terms of spin-weighted spherical harmonics which allows us to evaluate all the angular derivatives analytically, whereas the evolution of the expansion coefficients, in the time-radial section, is determined by applying the method of lines implemented in a fourth order accurate finite differencing stencil. Concerning the initialization, in all of our investigations single mode excitations---either static or purely dynamical type initial data---are applied. Within this setup the late time tail behavior is investigated. Due to the applied conformal compactification the asymptotic decay rates are determined at three characteristic locations---in the domain of outer communication, at the event horizon and at future null infinity---simultaneously. Recently introduced new type of `energy' and `angular momentum' balance relations are also applied in order to demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the developed numerical schema, and also to verify the proper implementation of the underlying mathematical model.
