Geometrical representation of Euclidean general relativity in the canonical formalism
We give an SU(2) covariant representation of the constraints of Euclidean general relativity in the Ashtekar variables. The guiding principle is the use of triads to transform all free spatial indices into SU(2) indices. A central role is played by a special covariant derivative. The Gauss, diffeomorphism and Hamiltonian constraints become purely algebraic restrictions on the curvature and the ...

Inspired by BRST techniques, we give an SU(2) covariant representation of the constraints of Euclidean general relativity in the Ashtekar variables. The guiding principle is the use of triads to transform all free spatial indices into SU(2) indices. A central role is played by a special covariant derivative.

متن کاملThe Chrono-geometrical Structure of Special and General Relativity: a Re-Visitation of Canonical Geometrodynamics
A modern re-visitation of the consequences of the lack of an intrinsic notion of instantaneous 3-space in relativistic theories leads to a reformulation of their kinematical basis emphasizing the role of non-inertial frames centered on an arbitrary accelerated observer. In special relativity the exigence of predictability implies the adoption of the 3+1 point of view, which leads to a well pose...
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 کامل4 Euclidean formulation of general relativity
A variational principle is applied to 4D Euclidean space provided with a tensor refractive index, defining what can be seen as 4-dimensional optics (4DO). The geometry of such space is analysed, making no physical assumptions of any kind. However, by assigning geometric entities to physical quantities the paper allows physical predictions to be made. A mechanism is proposed for translation betw...
