Metric Versus Ashtekar Variables in Two Killing Field Reduced Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The relation between the SL(2,R)/SO(2)- and the SL(2,C)-chiral model that naturally arise within the metric respectively the Ashtekar formulation of two Killing field reduced Einstein gravity is revealed. Both chiral models turn out to be completely equivalent even though the transition from the coset- to the SL(2,C)-model is accompanied by a disappearance of the non-ultralocal terms in the Poisson brackets.
