The Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations

TL;DR: In this paper, various aspects of the Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations are surveyed, with the emphasis on local solutions of the evolution equations, and a clear explanation of conceptual issues which arise in this context.

Review: Dirac's Observables for the Rest-Frame Instant Form of Tetrad Gravity in a Completely Fixed 3-Orthogonal Gauge

TL;DR: In this paper, the rest-frame instant form of tetrad gravity restricted to Christodoulou-Klainermann spacetimes was defined and solved by solving the multitemporal equations associated with the rotation and space diffeomorphism constraints.

On the determination of Cauchy surfaces from intrinsic properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of determining from intrinsic properties whether or not a given spacelike surface is a Cauchy surface, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a compact surface to be a CA in a spacetime which admits one.

Linearization stability of the Einstein equations

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that under certain geometrical conditions on the background solution the problem can be answered affirmatively; however, in certain exceptional cases the answer may be negative.

The canonical formulation of supergravity

TL;DR: The Hamiltonian for the theory of supergravity is computed with the freedom of arbitrary Lorentz rotations maintained throughout as mentioned in this paper, and the connection between supersymmetry and derivative coupling are made particularly clear in the calculation.
