Gravitational Instantons in Ashtekar's Formalism

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

Gravitational instantons of Bianchi type IX space are constructed in Ashtekar's canonical formalism. Instead of solving the self-duality condition, we fully solve the constraint on the ``initial surface'' and ``Hamiltonian equations''. This formalism is applicable to the matter coupled system with cosmological constant.
