Parametric manifolds

Creator:

Boersma, Stuart F.

Abstract:

A standard tool in general relativity is the 3+1 or ADM point of view, namely slicing spacetime into spacelike hypersurfaces of constant time and then describing physics in terms of time-dependent quantities on a typical such hypersurface. Much less well-known is the 1+3 point of view, in which one foliates...

A new look at the Ashtekar-Magnon energy condition

Creator:

Fischer, James P.

Abstract:

Quantum field theory has enjoyed much success, indeed for ordinary flat spacetime applications it has been experimentally verified to a great deal of accuracy. However on general cursed spacetime backgrounds there is no canonical method for constructing a quantum field theory. In 1975, Abhay Ashtekar and Anne Magnon made progress...
