The problem of the gravitational field dynamics
A physical formulation “Suppose we want to describe an isolated self-gravitating system. For example a star, a binary system, a black hole or colliding black holes. Typically these astrophysical systems are located far away from the Earth, so that we can receive from them only electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. How is this radiation? For example one can ask how much energy is radiated, or which are the typical frequencies for some systems. This is the general problem we want to study.”
[S. Dain, Lecture Notes in Physics 604, 161-182 (2002)]
A first step in the mathematical study: elliptic systems “Elliptic problems appear naturally in physics mainly in two situations: as equations which describe equilibrium (for example, stationary solutions in General Relativity) and as constraints for the evolution equations (for example, constraint equations in Electromagnetism and General Relativity). In addition, in General Relativity they appear often as gauge conditions for the evolution equations.”

Comments
General Comments Rigorous construction of a large class of solutions to the constraint equations, providing regular initial data aiming at smooth asymptotic structure at null infinity from the evolution of Friedrich’s conformal equations. Regularity condition kills linear momentum P i: generic logarithmic terms in the expansion if P i = 0 (no multipole expansion of the prescribed form). Explicit solutions of the momentum constraint (with angular momentum).

Foundational article in Sergio’s career: “Train in the right trail” [H. Friedrich] Very solid piece of work, technically and conceptually, but smoothness I + turned out to be more complicated [Valiente-Kroon 04,05; cf. T-T. Paetz’s talk]. Difficult to overstimate the formative character of this article (“this elliptic problem played a chord in the mathematical sensitivity of Sergio”, [H. Friedrich]) (A plausible interpretation as a “Wittgenstein ladder”).

Characterization of the fall-off behaviour of the intrinsic metric and the extrinsic curvature of Cauchy initial data for asymptotically flat, stationary vacuum spacetimes near spacelike infinity. It fills gap in the proof of analytic compactification at null infinity of asymptotically flat, vacuum stationary spacetimes [ Beig & Simon 81; Damour & Schmidt 90]. Understanding of regularity conditions to be imposed at infinity for stationary data: key for constructing data containing Kerr. Understanding content of initial data: Initial Data for Two Kerr-like Black Holes Known families of binary data do not contained Kerr (stationary solutions): difficulty to assess their physical meaning, namely the gravitational waves content.

Geometric Inequalities in General Relativity
Prototype: Isoperimetric inequality
L2 ≥ 4πA (= circle) Geometry
“General Relativity is a geometric theory, hence it is not surprising that geometric inequalities appear naturally in it. Many of these inequalities are similar in spirit as the isoperimetric
- inequality. [...] the inequality applies for a rich class of objects and the equality only applies for
an object of “optimal shape”. This object, like the circle, can be described by few parameters and it has also a variational characterization.”
Physics
“[...] General Relativity is also a physical theory. It is often the case that the quantities involved have a clear physical interpretation and the expected behavior of the gravitational and matter fields often suggests geometric inequalities which can be highly non-trivial from the mathematical point of view. The interplay between physics and geometry gives to geometric inequalities in General Relativity their distinguished character.”
