Degenerate Solutions of General Relativity from Topological Field Theory
Working in the Palatini formalism, we describe a procedure for constructing degenerate solutions of general relativity on 4-manifold M from certain solutions of 2-dimensional BF theory on any framed surface Σ embedded in M . In these solutions the cotetrad field e (and thus the metric) vanishes outside a neighborhood of Σ, while inside this neighborhood the connection A and the field E = e∧e sa...
متن کاملOn Existence of Static Metric Extensions in General Relativity
Abstract: Motivated by problems related to quasi-local mass in general relativity, we study the static metric extension conjecture proposed by R. Bartnik [4]. We show that, for any metric on B̄1 that is close enough to the Euclidean metric and has reflection invariant boundary data, there always exists an asymptotically flat and scalar flat static metric extension in M = R \B1 such that it satis...
متن کاملOn the Constraint Algebra of Degenerate Relativity
As shown by Ashtekar in the mid 80’s, general relativity can be extended to incorporate degenerate metrics. This extension is not unique, however, as one can change the form of the hamiltonian constraints and obtain an alternative degenerate extension of general relativity that disagrees with Ashtekar’s original theory when the triads vectors are degenerate. In this paper, the constraint algebr...
متن کاملGeneral-relativistic Visualization General Relativity
I n our previous article about special-relativistic visualization,1 we described what the travelers from our highly developed civilization observed when they passed the Earth; now, they set out for the Cygnus X-1 binary system, which is roughly 6,000 light years away. The Cygnus X-1 system consists of a super giant variable star (HDE 226868) and a very compact object—presumably a black hole—wit...
متن کاملNoncommutative general relativity
We define a theory of noncommutative general relativity for canonical noncommutative spaces. We find a subclass of general coordinate transformations acting on canonical noncommutative spacetimes to be volume-preserving transformations. Local Lorentz invariance is treated as a gauge theory with the spin connection field taken in the so(3,1) enveloping algebra. The resulting theory appears to be...
