TL;DR: In this article, the general monad method is systematically represented, and it is shown how it may be reduced to its two basic special gauges, i.e., coordinate and referential.
Abstract: In this note the general monad method is systematically represented, and it is shown how it may be reduced to its two basic special gauges. The last section deals with two kinds of canonical formalism, “coordinate” and “referential” ones, based on the kinemetric gauge.

TL;DR: In this paper, a covariant formalism for the hamiltonian formulation of general relativity in arbitrary dimensions is presented, where the basic variables are taken to be a soldering form and a torsion-free connection on an SO (p, q )-bundle over the space-time manifold.
Abstract: A covariant formalism for the hamiltonian formulation of general relativity in arbitrary dimensions is presented. Specifically, a presymplectic form on the solution space for the vacuum equations in n dimensions is given. The basic variables are taken to be a soldering form and a torsion-free connection on an SO ( p , q )-bundle over the space-time manifold M . It is shown how the present formalism is related to the standard ADM-formalism.

TL;DR: The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoreti- cal frameworks for analysing them are reviewed in this article, where the equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eotvos experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment.
Abstract: The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoreti- cal frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eotvos experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP will search for new interactions aris- ing from unification or quantum gravity. Tests of general relativity have reached high precision, including the light deflection, the Shapiro time delay, the perihelion advance of Mercury, and the Nordtvedt ef- fect in lunar motion. Gravitational wave damping has been detected to half a percent using the binary pulsar, and new binary pulsar systems promise further improvements. When direct observation of gravita- tional radiation from astrophysical sources begins, new tests of general relativity will be possible.

TL;DR: An interior solution of the field equations of general relativity has been obtained for a static and spherically symmetric charged body as discussed by the authors, which is joined smoothly to the Reissner-Nordstrom solution at the surface of the body.
