Abstract
We present in detail the Einstein equations in the Baumgarte–Shapiro–Shibata–Nakamura formulation for the case of D-dimensional spacetimes with SO(D−d) isometry based on a method originally introduced in Ref. 1. Regularized expressions are given for a numerical implementation of this method on a vertex centered grid including the origin of the quasi-radial coordinate that covers the extra dimensions with rotational symmetry. Axisymmetry, corresponding to the value d=D−2, represents a special case with fewer constraints on the vanishing of tensor components and is conveniently implemented in a variation of the general method. The robustness of the scheme is demonstrated for the case of a black-hole head-on collision in D=7 spacetime dimensions with SO(4) symmetry.
