Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold on which a trace-free and divergence-free $sigmain{W}^{1,p}$ and a positive function $auin{W}^{1,p}$, $p>n$, are fixed. In this paper, we study the vacuum Einstein constraint equations using the well known conformal method with data $sigma$ and $au$. We show that if no solution exists then there is a non-trivial solution of another non-linear limit equation on $1$-forms. This last equation can be shown to be without solutions no solution in many situations. As a corollary, we get existence of solutions of the vacuum Einstein constraint equation under explicit assumptions which in particular hold on a dense set of metrics $g$ for the $C^0$-topology.
