60 v 1 1 5 M ar 2 00 0 ( 2 , 2 ) - Formalism of General Relativity : An Exact Solution
We discuss the (2,2)-formalism of general relativity based on the (2,2)-fibration of a generic 4-dimensional spacetime of the Lorentzian signature. In this formalism general relativity is describable as a Yang-Mills gauge theory defined on the (1+1)-dimensional base manifold, whose local gauge symmetry is the group of the diffeomorphisms of the 2-dimensional fibre manifold. After presenting the...
متن کاملGeometrical 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 ...
متن کاملExact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity †
We present a new approach to quantum general relativity based on the idea of Feynman to treat the graviton in Einstein's theory as a point particle field subject to quantum fluctuations just as any such field is in the well-known Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions. We show that, by using resummation techniques based on the extension of the methods of Yennie, Frautschi and...
متن کاملMaxwell Optics: II. An Exact Formalism
We present a formalism for light optics starting with the Maxwell equations and casting them into an exact matrix form taking into account the spatial and temporal variations of the permittivity and permeability. This 8 × 8 matrix representation is used to construct the optical Hamiltonian. This has a close analogy with the algebraic structure of the Dirac equation, enabling the use of the rich...
متن کاملGeneral Relativity: An Informal Primer
General relativity, and its application to cosmological models such as inflation, is a remarkably beautiful and elegant theory. Yet newcomers to the field often face at least three types of challenges: conceptual, mathematical, and notational. Over the past century, physicists and mathematicians have developed a remarkably compact formalism and notation for working with general relativity, whic...
