Integral Constraints in General Relativity
A conserved quantity corresponding to an asymptotic symmetry of an otherwise arbitrary spacetime manifold can be constructed in general relativity provided that a number of conditions are met. If we write the spacetime metric in the form &,~ = g~. + h~,, where h~,~ vanishes (sufficiently rapidly) at infinity but is otherwise arbitrary, then the background asymptotic metric g~,~ must satisfy the...
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 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...
متن کاملQuasilocal mass in general relativity.
There have been many attempts to define the notion of quasilocal mass for a spacelike two surface in spacetime by the Hamilton-Jacobi analysis. The essential difficulty in this approach is to identify the right choice of the background configuration to be subtracted from the physical Hamiltonian. Quasilocal mass should be non-negative for surfaces in general spacetime and zero for surfaces in f...
متن کاملNew constraints for canonical general relativity
Ashtekar’s canonical theory of classical complex Euclidean GR (no Lorentzian reality conditions) is found to be invariant under the full algebra of infinitesimal 4-diffeomorphisms, but non-invariant under some finite proper 4-diffeos when the densitized dreibein, Ẽ i , is degenerate. The breakdown of 4-diffeo invariance appears to be due to the inability of the Ashtekar Hamiltonian to generate ...
