A Hamiltonian structure of the interacting gravitational and matter fields

TL;DR: In this paper, a Hamiltonian formulation for classical field theories is presented, in which the Hamilton equation is written by means of the energy-momentum function E and the symplectic 2−form Ω.

Natural bundles. I. A minimal resolution of superspace

TL;DR: In this article, the singularities in the space of geometries or superspace of a closed manifold M have been studied in the context of spin and diffeomorphism group, the Yang-Mills moduli space, and nonlinear sigma models.

On Global One-Dimensionality proposal in Quantum General Relativity

L. A. Glinka
TL;DR: In this article, the simple quantum gravity model, based on a new conjecture within the canonically quantized 3+1 general relativity, is presented, which states that matter fields are functionals of an embedding volume form only and reduces the quantum geometrodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

General relativity as a generalized Hamiltonian system

TL;DR: In this article, a rigorous setting for Dirac's generalized Hamiltonian dynamics in an infinite number of dimensions is presented, and it is shown that the dynamical formulation of general relativity fits into this scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrostates thermodynamics and its stable classical limit in Global One-Dimensional Quantum General Relativity

TL;DR: In this article, a toy model with nontrivial field theoretical content, describing classical one-dimensional massive bosonic fields related to any 3+1 metric, where the dimension is a volume of three-dimensional embedding, is presented.

Quantum Theory of Gravity. I. The Canonical Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a 6-dimensional hyperbolic Riemannian manifold is introduced, which takes for its metric the coefficient of the momenta in the Hamiltonian constraint and the geodesic incompletability of this manifold, owing to the existence of a frontier of infinite curvature, is demonstrated.
