Solving the Constraints of General Relativity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-03-24 v1

Abstract

I show in this letter that it is possible to solve some of the constraints of the SO(3)SO(3)-ADM formalism for general relativity by using an approach similar to the one introduced by Capovilla, Dell and Jacobson to solve the vector and scalar constraints in the Ashtekar variables framework. I discuss the advantages of using the ADM formalism and compare the result with similar proposals for different Hamiltonian formulations of general relativity.
