The Initial Value Problem in Light of Ashtekar’s Variables
نویسنده
چکیده
The form of the initial value constraints in Ashtekar’s hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is recalled, and the problem of solving them is compared with that in the traditional metric variables. It is shown how the general solution of the four diffeomorphism constraints can be obtained algebraically provided the curvature is nondegenerate, and the form of the remaining (Gauss law) constraints is discussed. The method is extended to cover the case when matter is included, using an approach due to Thiemann. The application of the method to vacuum Bianchi models is given. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of alternative approaches to the initial value problem in the Ashtekar formulation.

On the solution of the initial value constraints for general relativity coupled to matter in terms of Ashtekar’s variables
The method of solution of the initial value constraints for pure canonical gravity in terms of Ashtekar’s new canonical variables due to CDJ (see [1]) is further developed in the present paper. There are 2 new main results : 1) We extend the method of CDJ to arbitrary matter-coupling again for non-degenerate metrics : the new feature is that the ’CDJmatrix’ adopts a nontrivial antisymmetric par...
متن کاملPrice Discount and Stochastic Initial Inventory in the Newsboy Problem
Many extension of the newsboy problem have been solved in the literature. One of those extensions solves a newsboy problem with stochastic initial inventory, earlier extensions have focused on quantity discounts offered by suppliers. An important practical extension would address a combination of the two pervious extensions. In this paper we consider a newsboy problem in which the suppliers off...

متن کاملSolving Some Initial-Boundary Value Problems Including Non-classical Cases of Heat Equation By Spectral and Countour Integral Methods
In this paper, we consider some initial-boundary value problems which contain one-dimensional heat equation in non-classical case. For this problem, we can not use the classical methods such as Fourier, Laplace transformation and Fourier-Birkhoff methods. Because the eigenvalues of their spectral problems are not strictly and they are repeated or we have no eigenvalue. The presentation of the s...
