Question
The “thin sandwich” approach to these equations’ constraints was made practical by J. W. York, who co-names an approach to finding their initial conditions with André Lichnerowicz (“leesh-nair-oh-VEETS”). Chi (“kye”), which equals “gamma to the negative one-third,” can be used to rewrite these equations in the BSSN system. Manuela Campanelli’s team at Brownsville, which created the “moving puncture” method, was one of three teams behind a 2005 breakthrough in solving these equations under the ADM formalism. Birkhoff’s theorem concerns the spherical symmetry of a solution to these equations involving a “one minus the quantity ‘r-sub-s over r’” term. Despite being nonlinear and second-order, a solution to these equations with a singularity was quickly found by Karl Schwarzschild. For 10 points, what equations of general relativity are named after the theory’s creator? ■END■
