Abstract: We prove a strong localized gluing result for the general relativistic constraint equations (with or without cosmological constant) in $ngeq3$ spatial dimensions. We glue an $epsilon$-rescaling of an asymptotically flat data set $(hatgamma,hatk)$ into the neighborhood of a point $mathfrakpinX$ inside of another initial data set $(X,gamma,k)$, under a local genericity condition (non-existence of KIDs) near $mathfrakp$. As the scaling parameter $epsilon$ tends to $0$, the rescalings $fracxepsilon$ of normal coordinates $x$ on $X$ around $mathfrakp$ become asymptotically flat coordinates on the asymptotically flat data set; outside of any neighborhood of $mathfrakp$ on the other hand, the glued initial data converge back to $(gamma,k)$. The initial data we construct enjoy polyhomogeneous regularity jointly in $epsilon$ and the (rescaled) spatial coordinates. Applying our construction to unit mass black hole data sets $(X,gamma,k)$ and appropriate boosted Kerr initial data sets $(hatgamma,hatk)$ produces initial data which conjecturally evolve into the extreme mass ratio inspiral of a unit mass and a mass $epsilon$ black hole. The proof combines a variant of the gluing method introduced by Corvino and Schoen with geometric singular analysis techniques originating in Melrose's work. On a technical level, we present a fully geometric microlocal treatment of the solvability theory for the linearized constraints map.
