Hyperbolicity of the BSSN system of Einstein evolution equations
Olivier Sarbach, Gioel Calabrese, Jorge Pullin, Manuel Tiglio
Abstract
We discuss an equivalence between the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) formulation of the Einstein evolution equations, a subfamiliy of the Kidder--Scheel--Teukolsky formulation, and other strongly or symmetric hyperbolic first order systems with fixed shift and densitized lapse. This allows us to show under which conditions the BSSN system is, in a sense to be discussed, hyperbolic. This desirable property may account in part for the empirically observed better behavior of the BSSN formulation in numerical evolutions involving black holes.
