Scientific paper

A class of vacuum initial-data sets is described which are based on certain
expressions for the extrinsic curvature first studied and employed by Bowen and
York. These expressions play a role for the momentum constraint of general
relativity which is analogous to the role played by the Coulomb solution for
the Gauss-law constraint of electromagnetism.
