3+1 Formalism and Bases of Numerical Relativity
read the original abstract
These lecture notes provide some introduction to the 3+1 formalism of general relativity, which is the foundation of most modern numerical relativity. The text is rather self-contained, with detailed calculations and numerous examples. Contents: 1. Introduction, 2. Geometry of hypersurfaces, 3. Geometry of foliations, 4. 3+1 decomposition of Einstein equation, 5. 3+1 equations for matter and electromagnetic field, 6. Conformal decomposition, 7. Asymptotic flatness and global quantities, 8. The initial data problem, 9. Choice of foliation and spatial coordinates, 10. Evolution schemes.

Boson star-black hole binaries: initial data and head-on collisions
A one-body conformal-factor correction stabilizes boson star-black hole initial data, enabling gravitational-wave analysis that shows higher multipoles can discriminate mixed mergers from pure black-hole binaries.
