Product Description
The book presents state-of-the-art results on the analysis of the Einstein equations and the large scale structure of their solutions. It combines in a unique way introductory chapters and surveys of various aspects of the analysis of the Einstein equations in the large. It discusses applications of the Einstein equations in geometrical studies and the physical interpretation of their solutions. Open problems concerning analytical and numerical aspects of the Einstein equations are pointed out.
Background material on techniques in PDE theory, differential geometry, and causal theory is provided.

Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat's epic work of over 50 years ago shows that if a set of smooth initial data which satisfies the Einstein constraint equations is given, then we can always find a spacetime solution of the Einstein equations which contains an embedded hypersurface whose metric and second fundamental form agree with the chosen data.
