\abstract{Analytic initial data for vacuum black hole spacetimes}

\section{Purpose}
  Initial data is provided for the 3-metric, extrinsic curvature, and
  if appropriate the conformal factor and it's spatial derivatives as
  well as the lapse and shift. The current initial data sets are:
  \begin{enumerate} 

	\item single (Schwarzschild) black hole in isotropic
	coordinates $$ g_{ij} = $$

	\item up to four Brill-Lindquist black holes,

	\item Any number of Misner-type black holes.
	
	\item A single Kerr black hole 
	
 \end{enumerate}

\section{Solutions}

\subsection{Schwarzschild}

\noindent{\bf 3-Metric} 

\begin{eqnarray*}
g_{xx} &=& 1 + \frac{1}{2Mr^4}\\
g_{yy} &=& 1 + \frac{1}{2Mr^4}\\
g_{zz} &=& 1 + \frac{1}{2Mr^4}\\
g_{xy} &=& 0\\
g_{xz} &=& 0\\
g_{yz} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}

\noindent{\bf Conformal 3-Metric} 

\begin{eqnarray*}
g_{xx} &=& 1 \\
g_{yy} &=& 1 \\
g_{zz} &=& 1 \\
g_{xy} &=& 0\\
g_{xz} &=& 0\\
g_{yz} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}

\noindent{\bf Conformal Factor}

$$
\phi = 1+\frac{1}{2r}
$$

\noindent{\bf Conformal Factor} 

\begin{eqnarray*}
K_{xx} &=& 0\\
K_{yy} &=& 0\\
K_{zz} &=& 0\\
K_{xy} &=& 0\\
K_{xz} &=& 0\\
K_{yz} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}

\noindent{\bf Lapse}

$$
\alpha = \frac{2r-M}{2r+M}
$$


\section{Comments}
This thorn uses no special numerical methods, however two points
are worth noting
\begin{itemize}
  \item The solution for Misner is obtained by summing a sequence
  \item The spatial derivatives of the conformal metric (when required) 
        are calculated accurately using finite differencing of the 
        exact solution by a very small spacing </item>
\end{itemize}

It is still to be decided how initial data should be supplied to
for systems of evolution equations which use more or different 
variables to those in the einstein implementation
