Mathematical Structure of Tetrad Equations for Vacuum Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
The tetrad partial differential equations formulated by Buchman and Bardeen for vacuum gravity are shown to be well posed by calculation of the Cartan characters of an associated exterior differential system. Gauge specializations are discussed. A Cartan 4-form is found for this field theory, together with its intrinsic version the Lagrangian density.

Hyperbolic tetrad formulation of the Einstein equations for numerical relativity
The tetrad-based equations for vacuum gravity published by Estabrook, Robinson, and Wahlquist are simplified and adapted for numerical relativity. We show that the evolution equations as partial differential equations for the Ricci rotation coefficients constitute a rather simple first-order symmetrizable hyperbolic system, not only for the Nester gauge condition on the acceleration and angular...

The Hamiltonian structure of General Relativity (GR), for both metric and tetrad gravity in a definite continuous family of space-times, is fully exploited in order to show that: i) the Hole Argument can be bypassed by means of a specific physical individuation of point-events of the space-time manifold M4 in terms of the autonomous degrees of freedom of the vacuum gravitational field (Dirac ob...

In this paper we identify an ambiguous statement appearing in the Physics literature, called 'tetrad postulate' and which may produce nonsense if care is not taken. We identify the genesis of the 'tetrad postulate' and reveals the sources from where ambiguities arise. As an explicit example of the danger that the ambiguous´tetrad postulate' may produce we discuss the validity of a so called 'Ev...
متن کاملDifferential Forms and Wave Equations for General Relativity
Recently, Choquet-Bruhat and York and Abrahams, Anderson, ChoquetBruhat, and York (aacy) have cast the 3+1 evolution equations of general relativity in gauge-covariant and causal “first-order symmetric hyperbolic form,” thereby cleanly separating physical from gauge degrees of freedom in the Cauchy problem for general relativity. A key ingredient in their construction is a certain wave equation...
