Solutions of the Einstein equations with matter
Abstract
Recent results on solutions of the Einstein equations with matter are surveyed and a number of open questions are stated. The first group of results presented concern asymptotically flat spacetimes, both stationary and dynamical. Then there is a discussion of solutions of the equations describing matter in special relativity and Newtonian gravitational theory and their relevance for general relativity. Next spatially compact solutions of the Einstein-matter equations are presented. Finally some remarks are made on the methods which have been used, and could be used in the future, to study solutions of the Einstein equations with matter.
