Gravitational Instantons in Ashtekar’s Formalism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gravitational instantons of Bianchi type IX space are constructed in Ashtekar’s canonical formalism. Instead of solving the self-duality condition, we fully solve the constraint on the “initial surface” and “Hamiltonian equations”. This formallism is applicable to the matter coupled system with cosmological constant.

Newman-Penrose Formalism for Gravitational Instantons
We present a spinor description of real 4-dimensional Riemanian manifolds with Euclidean signature in terms of two independent sets of 2-component spinors. This is a version of the original Newman-Penrose formalism appropriate to the discussion of the mathematical, as well as physical properties of gravitational instantons. We show that the spin coefficients, connection 1-form and curvature 2-f...
متن کاملGravitational Instantons from Minimal Surfaces
Physical properties of gravitational instantons which are derivable from minimal surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space are examined using the Newman-Penrose formalism for Euclidean signature. The gravitational instanton that corresponds to the helicoid minimal surface is investigated in detail. This is a metric of Bianchi Type V II0, or E(2) which admits a hidden symmetry due to the existen...
متن کاملA Newman-Penrose Calculator for Instanton Metrics
We present a Maple11+GRTensorII based symbolic calculator for instanton metrics using Newman-Penrose formalism. Gravitational instantons are exact solutions of Einstein’s vacuum field equations with Euclidean signature. The Newman-Penrose formalism, which supplies a toolbox for studying the exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations, was adopted to the instanton case and our code translates ...
متن کاملOn Yang–Mills instantons over multi-centered gravitational instantons
In this paper we explicitly calculate the analogue of the ’t Hooft SU(2) Yang–Mills instantons on Gibbons–Hawking multi-centered gravitational instantons, which come in two parallel families: the multi-Eguchi–Hanson, or Ak ALE gravitational instantons and the multi-Taub–NUT spaces, or Ak ALF gravitational instantons. We calculate their energy and find the reducible ones. Following Kronheimer we...
