Generalized embedding variables for geometrodynamics and spacetime diffeomorphisms: Ultralocal coordinate conditions
We investigate the embedding variable approach to geometrodynamics advocated in work by Isham, Kuchař and Unruh for a general class of coordinate conditions that mirror the Isham-Kuchař Gaussian condition but allow for arbitrary algebraic complexity. We find that the same essential structure present in the ultralocal Gaussian condition is repeated in the general case. The resultant embedding– e...
متن کامل0 Se p 20 04 GEOMETRODYNAMICS : SPACETIME OR SPACE ?
The work in this thesis concerns the split of Einstein field equations (EFE’s) with respect to nowhere-null hypersurfaces, the GR Cauchy and Initial Value problems (CP and IVP), the Canonical formulation of GR and its interpretation, and the Foundations of Relativity. I address Wheeler’s question about the why of the form of the GR Hamiltonian constraint “from plausible first principles”. I con...
متن کاملSpacetime Embedding Diagrams for Black Holes ∗
We show that the 1+1 dimensional reduction (i.e., the radial plane) of the Kruskal black hole can be embedded in 2+1 Minkowski spacetime and discuss how features of this spacetime can be seen from the embedding diagram. The purpose of this work is educational: The associated embedding diagrams may be useful for explaining aspects of black holes to students who are familiar with special relativi...
متن کاملEmbedding graphs in Lorentzian spacetime
Geometric approaches to network analysis combine simply defined models with great descriptive power. In this work we provide a method for embedding directed acyclic graphs (DAG) into Minkowski spacetime using Multidimensional scaling (MDS). First we generalise the classical MDS algorithm, defined only for metrics with a Riemannian signature, to manifolds of any metric signature. We then use thi...
متن کاملComputer Algebra in Spacetime Embedding
The General Relativity Theory defines the physical spacetime as a differentiable pseudo-Riemmanian 4-dimensional manifold (Hawking & Ellis, 1973) . The spacetime is seen through the iatrin~ic geometry. However~ many interesting results have shown that the extrinsic geometry gives sometimes a bet ter understanding of the physical structure of the spacetlme. As an example of its growing interest ...
