Hyperbolic Formulation of General Relativity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

Two geometrical well-posed hyperbolic formulations of general relativity are described. One admits any time-slicing which preserves a generalized harmonic condition. The other admits arbitrary time-slicings. Both systems have only the physical characteristic speeds of zero and the speed of light.
