Boundary structure of general relativity in tetrad variables

چکیده
An explicit, geometric description of the first-class constraints and their Poisson brackets for gravity in Palatini-Cartan formalism (in space-time dimension greater than three) is given. The corresponding Batalin- Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formulation also developed.

Mathematical Structure of Tetrad Equations for Vacuum Relativity
The tetrad partial differential equations formulated by Buchman and Bardeen for vacuum gravity are shown to be well posed by calculation of the Cartan characters of an associated exterior differential system. Gauge specializations are discussed. A Cartan 4-form is found for this field theory, together with its intrinsic version the Lagrangian density.
متن کاملAshtekar Variables in Classical General Relativity
The task I was given for this lecture is to present Ashtekar’s connection variables for classical General Relativity in a pedagogical manner. My intention is to describe a possible route towards a reformulation of General Relativity in terms of Ashtekar’s connection variables. I try to give self-contained and hopefully painless derivations of the crucial steps, without entering too much into th...
متن کاملStationary untrapped boundary conditions in general relativity
A class of boundary conditions for canonical general relativity are proposed and studied at the quasi-local level. It is shown that for untrapped or marginal surfaces, fixing the area element on the 2-surface (rather than the induced 2-metric) and the angular momentum surface density is enough to have a functionally differentiable Hamiltonian, thus providing definition of conserved quantities f...
متن کاملGeneralized boundary conditions for general relativity for the asymptotically flat case in terms of Ashtekar’s variables
There is a gap that has been left open since the formulation of general relativity in terms of Ashtekar’s new variables namely the treatment of asymptotically flat field configurations that are general enough to be able to define the generators of the Lorentz subgroup of the asymptotical Poincaré group. While such a formulation already exists for the old geometrodynamical variables, up to now o...
متن کاملCurvature Structure and General Relativity
Newtonian gravitational theory essentially assumes the ability to distinguish between “true” forces and those “accelerative” forces which arise for an observer who “accelerates with respect to absolute space”. Leaving aside the philosophical (and other) problems involved here, it is assumed from this that a preferred family of reference frames (observers), called inertial, exist in which accele...
