Einstein equations can be written in the so-called Fully Constrained Formulation (FCF). This formulation has two different sectors: the elliptic sector, formed by the Hamiltonian and Momentum constraints together with the equations derived…

Relativistic simulations in 3+1 dimensions typically monitor the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints during evolution, with significant violations of these constraints indicating the presence of instabilities. In this paper we rewrite the…

In previous works, we suggested considering a (3+1)D quantum gravitational field as an evolution of a (2+1)D renormalized quantum gravitational field along the direction of the gravitational force. The starting point of the suggestion is a…
