By using the conformal method, solutions of the Einstein-scalar field gravitational constraint equations are obtained. Handling scalar fields is a bit more challenging than handling matter fields such as fluids, Maxwell fields or Yang-Mills fields, because the scalar field introduces three extra terms into the Lichnerowicz equation, rather than just one. The proofs are constructive and allow for arbitrary dimension (> 2) as well as low regularity initial data.
