Cern–th/98–252 Canonical General Relativity: Matter Fields in a General Linear Frame
Building on the results of previous work [5], we demonstrate how matter fields are incorporated into the general linear frame approach to general relativity. When considering the Maxwell one-form field, we find that the system that leads naturally to canonical vierbein general relativity has the extrinsic curvature of the Cauchy surface represented by gravitational as well as non-gravitational ...
متن کاملCanonical General Relativity: the Diffeomorphism Constraints and Spatial Frame Transformations
Einstein’s general relativity with both metric and vielbein treated as independent fields is considered, demonstrating the existence of a consistent variational principle and deriving a Hamiltonian formalism that treats the spatial metric and spatial vielbein as canonical coordinates. This results in a Hamiltonian in standard form that consists of Hamiltonian and momentum constraints as well as...
متن کاملModern Canonical Quantum General Relativity
This is an introduction to the by now fifteen years old research field of canonical quantum general relativity, sometimes called “loop quantum gravity”. The term “modern” in the title refers to the fact that the quantum theory is based on formulating classical general relativity as a theory of connections rather than metrics as compared to in original version due to Arnowitt, Deser and Misner. ...
متن کاملSingularities and Scalar Fields. Matter Theory and General Relativity
Philosophers of physics should be more attentive to the role energy conditions play in GR. I review the changing status of energy conditions for quantum fields – presently there are no singularity theorems for semiclassical GR. So we must re-evaluate how we understand the relationship between GR, QFT and singularities. Moreover, on our present understanding of what it is to be a “reasonable” fi...
متن کاملGrand canonical ensembles in general relativity
We develop a formalism for general relativistic, grand canonical ensembles in space-times with timelike Killing fields. Using that, we derive ideal gas laws, and show how they depend on the geometry of the particular space-times. A systematic method for calculating Newtonian limits is given for a class of these space-times, which is illustrated for Kerr space-time. In addition, we prove uniquen...
