Title: Inversion symmetric initial data for N charged black holes
Abstract: The initial value equations for gravitational and electric fields on a multiply connected manifold are addressed. The manifold considered represents two physically identical asymptotically flat universes with N throats connecting them. Matching conditions for the fields are derived for the case of a conformally flat maximal (but not time-symmetric) initial slice. A formal solution incorporating these conditions is given in terms of a simple geometric algorithm, and the method is applied to give explicit expressions for the background electric field of two oppositely charged bodies. Unlike previous methods, this procedure is general enough to allow arbitrary a priori specification of charge, angular momentum, and linear momentum for any number of separate charged moving bodies.
