Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativity
This is an introduction to the by now fifteen years old research field of canonical quantum general relativity, sometimes called “loop quantum gravity”. The term “modern” in the title refers to the fact that the quantum theory is based on formulating classical general relativity as a theory of connections rather than metrics as compared to in original version due to Arnowitt, Deser and Misner. ...
متن کاملNew constraints for canonical general relativity
Ashtekar’s canonical theory of classical complex Euclidean GR (no Lorentzian reality conditions) is found to be invariant under the full algebra of infinitesimal 4-diffeomorphisms, but non-invariant under some finite proper 4-diffeos when the densitized dreibein, Ẽ i , is degenerate. The breakdown of 4-diffeo invariance appears to be due to the inability of the Ashtekar Hamiltonian to generate ...
متن کاملGrand canonical ensembles in general relativity
We develop a formalism for general relativistic, grand canonical ensembles in space-times with timelike Killing fields. Using that, we derive ideal gas laws, and show how they depend on the geometry of the particular space-times. A systematic method for calculating Newtonian limits is given for a class of these space-times, which is illustrated for Kerr space-time. In addition, we prove uniquen...
متن کاملCanonical Lagrangian Dynamics and General Relativity
Building towards a more covariant approach to canonical classical and quantum gravity we outline an approach to constrained dynamics that de-emphasizes the role of the Hamiltonian phase space and highlights the role of the Lagrangian phase space. We identify a “Lagrangian one-form” to replace the standard symplectic one-form, which we use to construct the canonical constraints and an associated...
متن کاملAshtekar Variables in Classical General Relativity
The task I was given for this lecture is to present Ashtekar’s connection variables for classical General Relativity in a pedagogical manner. My intention is to describe a possible route towards a reformulation of General Relativity in terms of Ashtekar’s connection variables. I try to give self-contained and hopefully painless derivations of the crucial steps, without entering too much into th...
