Numerical Relativity is a multidisciplinary field including relativity, magneto-hydrodynamics, astrophysics and computational methods, among others, with the aim of solving numerically highly-dynamical, strong-gravity scenarios where no…

A new form of the dynamical equations of vacuum general relativity is proposed. This form involves the canonical Hamiltonian structure but non canonical variables. The new field variables are the electric field $E^{a}{}_{i}$ and the…

The possibility of using spin connection components as basic quantization variables of a conformal version of General Relativity is studied. The considered model contains gravitational degrees of freedom and a scalar dilaton field. The…

Von Neumann's procedure is applied for quantization of General Relativity. We quantize the initial data of dynamical variables at the Planck epoch, where the Hubble parameter coincides with the Planck mass. These initial data are defined…

There are many complementary approaches to the construction of solutions to the field equations of general relativity. Among these, numerical approximation offers the only possibility to compute a variety of dynamical spacetimes, and so has…

This paper contains an introduction into Ashtekar's reformulation of General Relativity in terms of connection variables. To appear in "Canonical Gravity - From Classical to Quantum", ed. by J. Ehlers and H. Friedrich, Springer Verlag…

The present work has a double aim. On the one hand we call attention on the relationship existing between the Ashtekar formalism and other gauge-theoretical approaches to gravity, in particular the Poincar\'e Gauge Theory. On the other hand…

In this letter, we establish a complete correspondence between the Newman--Penrose and 1+1+2 semitetrad covariant formalisms by expressing all Newman--Penrose spin coefficients, Ricci scalars, and Weyl scalars in terms of the scalar,…

We examine the advantages of the SO(3)-ADM (Ashtekar) formulation of general relativity, from the point of following the dynamics of the Lorentzian spacetime in direction of applying this into numerical relativity. We describe our strategy…

Numerical relativity is an essential tool for solving Einstein's equations of general relativity for dynamical systems characterized by high velocities and strong gravitational fields. The implementation of new algorithms that can solve…

The non-minimal coupling of a scalar field is considered in the framework of Ashtekar's new variables formulation of gravity. A first order action functional for this system is derived in which the field variables are a tetrad field, and an…

We give a careful general relativistic and (1+3)-covariant analysis of cosmological peculiar velocities induced by matter density perturbations in the presence of a cosmological constant. In our quasi-Newtonian approach, constraint…

We advance an universal approach to the construction of kinematics in non-inertial and, in particular, rotating reference frames. On its basis a 10-dimensional space including three projections of velocity vector and three turn angles in…

Initial data are the starting point for any numerical simulation. In the case of numerical relativity, Einstein's equations constrain our choices of these initial data. We will examine several of the formalisms used for specifying Cauchy…

We develop a generic spacetime model in General Relativity which can be used to build any gravitational model within General Relativity. The generic model uses two types of assumptions: (a) Geometric assumptions additional to the inherent…

A recently proposed variational approach for general relativity where, in addition to the metric tensor, two independent affine connections enter the action as dynamical variables, is revised. Field equations always reduce to the Einstein…

We propose an unified approach to loop quantum gravity and Fedosov quantization of gravity following the geometry of double spacetime fibrations and their quantum deformations. There are considered pseudo-Riemannian manifolds enabled with…

We discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics of general relativity with real connection variables on a null foliation, and use the Newman-Penrose formalism to shed light on the geometric meaning of the various constraints. We identify the equivalent…

The numerical solutions of the nonrelativistic and relativistic Boltzmann equations have been studied at various initial conditions. Particularly, the known analytical solution of the nonrelativistic Boltzmann equation at spherically…

The relation between the Husain-Kucha\v{r} model and some extensions thereof that incorporate a dynamical time variable is explored. To this end, we rely on the geometric approach to the Hamiltonian dynamics of singular (constrained)…
