About this person
In any physical theory, it is important to understand when solutions to the fundamental field equation exist, and answering this question was a theme of York's scientific work, with Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, of formulating the Einstein field equation as a well-posed system in the sense of the theory of partial differential equations.
