First-order symmetric hyperbolic Einstein equations with arbitrary fixed gauge.

چکیده
We find a one-parameter family of variables which recast the 3+1 Einstein equations into firstorder symmetric-hyperbolic form for any fixed choice of gauge. Hyperbolicity considerations lead us to a redefinition of the lapse in terms of an arbitrary factor times a power of the determinant of the 3-metric; under certain assumptions, the exponent can be chosen arbitrarily, but positive, with no implication of gauge-fixing.

Einstein and Yang-Mills theories in hyperbolic form without gauge fixing.
The evolution of physical and gauge degrees of freedom in the Einstein and Yang-Mills theories are separated in a gauge-invariant manner. We show that the equations of motion of these theories can always be written in fluxconservative first-order symmetric hyperbolic form. This dynamical form is ideal for global analysis, analytic approximation methods such as gaugeinvariant perturbation theory...
متن کاملDynamical gauge conditions for the Einstein evolution equations
The Einstein evolution equations have previously been written in a number of symmetric hyperbolic forms when the gauge fields—the densitized lapse and the shift—are taken to be fixed functions of the coordinates. Extended systems of evolution equations are constructed here by adding the gauge degrees of freedom to the set of dynamical fields, thus forming symmetric hyperbolic systems for the co...
متن کاملA non-strictly hyperbolic system for the Einstein equations with arbitrary lapse and shift
We obtain a system for the spatial metric and extrinsic curvature of a spacelike slice that is hyperbolic non-strict in the sense of Leray and Ohya and is equivalent to the Einstein equations. Its characteristics are the light cone and the normal to the slice for any choice of lapse and shift functions, and it admits a well-posed causal Cauchy problem in a Gevrey class of index α = 2. The syste...
متن کاملHyperbolic tetrad formulation of the Einstein equations for numerical relativity
The tetrad-based equations for vacuum gravity published by Estabrook, Robinson, and Wahlquist are simplified and adapted for numerical relativity. We show that the evolution equations as partial differential equations for the Ricci rotation coefficients constitute a rather simple first-order symmetrizable hyperbolic system, not only for the Nester gauge condition on the acceleration and angular...
