Boundary conditions from boundary terms, Noether charges and the trace K lagrangian in general relativity.
We present the Lagrangian whose corresponding action is the trace K action for General Relativity. Although this Lagrangian is second order in the derivatives, it has no second order time derivatives and its behavior at space infinity in the asymptotically flat case is identical to other alternative Lagrangians for General Relativity, like the gamma-gamma Lagrangian used by Einstein. We develop...
متن کاملGeneralized boundary conditions for general relativity for the asymptotically flat case in terms of Ashtekar’s variables
There is a gap that has been left open since the formulation of general relativity in terms of Ashtekar’s new variables namely the treatment of asymptotically flat field configurations that are general enough to be able to define the generators of the Lorentz subgroup of the asymptotical Poincaré group. While such a formulation already exists for the old geometrodynamical variables, up to now o...
متن کاملGeneral Relativity in terms of Dirac Eigenvalues
The eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a curved spacetime are diffeomorphism-invariant functions of the geometry. They form an infinite set of “observables” for general relativity. Recent work of Chamseddine and Connes suggests that they can be taken as variables for an invariant description of the gravitational field’s dynamics. We compute the Poisson brackets of these eigenvalues and find t...
متن کاملRecovering general relativity from massive gravity.
We obtain static, spherically symmetric, and asymptotically flat numerical solutions of massive gravity with a source. Those solutions show, for the first time explicitly, a recovery of the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity via the so-called Vainshtein mechanism.
متن کاملStationary untrapped boundary conditions in general relativity
A class of boundary conditions for canonical general relativity are proposed and studied at the quasi-local level. It is shown that for untrapped or marginal surfaces, fixing the area element on the 2-surface (rather than the induced 2-metric) and the angular momentum surface density is enough to have a functionally differentiable Hamiltonian, thus providing definition of conserved quantities f...
