A Spinor Approach to General Relativity
A calculus for general relativity is developed in which the basic role of tensors is taken over by spinors. The Riemann-Christoffel tensor is written in a spinor form according to a scheme of Witten. It is shown that the curvature of empty space can be uniquely characterized by a totally symmetric four-index spinor which satisfies a first order equation formally identical with one for a zero re...
متن کاملNonholonomic Approach to Rotating Matter in General Relativity
Rigidly rotating stationary matter in general relativity has been investigated by Kramer (Class. Quantum Grav. 2 L135 (1985)) by the Ernst coordinate method. A weakness of this approach is that the Ernst potential does not exist for differential rotation. We now generalize the techniques by the use of a nonholonomic and nonrigid frame. We apply these techniques for differentially rotating perfe...
متن کاملBV-BFV approach to general relativity: Einstein-Hilbert action
The present paper shows that general relativity in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism admits a BV-BFV formulation. More precisely, for any d + 1 � 2 (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold M with spacelike or time-like boundary components, the BV data on the bulk induces compatible BFV data on the boundary. As a byproduct, the usual canonical formulation of general relativity is recovered in a straightf...
متن کاملA Variational Approach to Homogeneous Scalar Fields in General Relativity
A result of existence of homogeneous scalar field solutions between prescribed configurations is given, using a modified version [8] of Euler–Maupertuis least action variational principle. Solutions are obtained as limit of approximating variational problems, solved using techniques introduced by Rabinowitz in [20].
متن کاملTeaching general relativity to undergraduates
eneral relativity lies at the heart of a wide variety of exciting astrophysical and cosmological discoveries made during the past decade or so. Whereas in 1919 Arthur Eddington was allegedly at a loss to name a third person who understood general relativity, presently its knowledge and use are widespread. We have come a long way in a century. Perhaps the most compelling of the new results is th...
