Local and Global Existence Theorems for the Einstein Equations

This article is a guide to the literature on existence theorems for the Einstein equations which also draws attention to open problems in the field. The local in time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is treated first. Next global results for solutionswith symmetry are discussed....
