We shall first show in this paper how one can obtain by direct methods, without making use of a Hamiltonian formalism, the splitting of part of the vacuum Einstein equations with 1 parameter isometry group into a system elliptic on each spacelike slice on the one hand, and on the other hand a hyperbolic system which is essentially a harmonic map equation from a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, whose metric depends on the solution of the elliptic system, into the 2-dimensional symmetric Riemannian space $ \mathcal{H} $.

We then prove global in space, local in time existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the hyperbolic-elliptic system so obtained, when $ \Sigma = S^2 $, in appropriate functional spaces. We show that in that case, the obtained solution satisfies the original Einstein equations. We finally discuss the general solution of the system, in the case where $ \Sigma $ is not simply connected. We show that when the genus of $ \Sigma $ is greater than 1, we can determine gt so that it is conformal to a metric at which remains in some chosen cross section of a bundle over the Teiehmuller space of $ \Sigma $ (cf. an analogous method in [Moncrief 1989] for the 3-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations). Here the evolution of at is determined by requiring the mixed elliptic-hyperbolic system obtained previously to be a solution of the original, 4-dimensional, Einstein equations
