Dynamical Constraints in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We impose in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory, by means of Lagrange multiplier fields in the action, a set of covariant constraints on the antisymmetric tensor field. The canonical Hamiltonian constraints in the weak field approximation for the antisymmetric sector yield a Hamiltonian energy bounded from below. An analysis of the Cauchy evolution, in terms of an expansion of the antisymmetric sector about a symmetric Einstein background, shows that arbitrarily small antisymmetric Cauchy data can lead to smooth evolution.

We consider the dynamical stability of a class of static, spherically-symmetric solutions of the nonsymmetric gravitational theory. We numerically reproduce the Wyman solution and generate new solutions for the case where the theory has a nontrivial fundamental length scale μ. By considering spherically symmetric perturbations of these solutions we show that the Wyman solutions are generically ...

We prove that the flux of gravitational radiation from an isolated source in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory is identical to that found in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
متن کاملLinearisation Instabilities of the Massive Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
The massive nonsymmetric gravitational theory is shown to posses a linearisation instability at purely GR field configurations, disallowing the use of the linear approximation in these situations. It is also shown that arbitrarily small antisymmetric sector Cauchy data leads to singular evolution unless an ad hoc condition is imposed on the initial data hypersurface.
متن کاملA Hamiltonian Formulation of Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theories
The dynamics of a class of nonsymmetric gravitational theories is presented in Hamiltonian form. The derivation begins with the first-order action, treating the generalized connection coefficients as the canonical coordinates and the densitised components of the inverse of the fundamental tensor as conjugate momenta. The phase space of the symmetric sector is enlarged compared to the convention...
متن کاملField Equations and Conservation Laws in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
The field equations in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory are derived from a Lagrangian density using a first-order formalism. Using the general covariance of the Lagrangian density, conservation laws and tensor identities are derived. Among these are the generalized Bianchi identities and the law of energy-momentum conservation. The Lagrangian density is expanded to second-order, and treate...
