Abstract
Initial data for solutions of Einstein’s gravitational field equations cannot be chosen freely: the data must satisfy the four Einstein constraint equations. We first discuss the geometric origins of the Einstein constraints and the role the constraint equations play in generating solutions of the full system. We then discuss various ways of obtaining solutions of the Einstein constraint equations, and the nature of the space of solutions.
