On the vacuum Einstein equations along curves with a discrete local rotational and reflection symmetry

Abstract
We discuss the possibility of a dimensional reduction of the Einstein equations in S3 black-hole lattices. It was reported in previous literature that the evolution of spaces containing curves of local, discrete rotational and reflection Symmetry (LDRRS) can be carried out via a system of ODEs along these curves. However, 3+1 Numerical Relativity computations demonstrate that this is not the case, and we show analytically that this is due to the presence of a tensorial quantity which is not suppressed by the symmetry. We calculate the term analytically, and verify numerically for an 8-black-hole lattice that it fully accounts for the anomalous results, and thus quantify its magnitude in this specific case. The presence of this term prevents the exact evolution of these spaces via previously-reported methods which do not involve a full 3+1 integration of Einstein's equation.
