Optimal Choices of Reference for a Quasi-local Energy: Spherically Symmetric Spacetimes

Ming-Fan Wu, Chiang-Mei Chen, Jian-Liang Liu +1

For a given timelike displacement vector the covariant Hamiltonian quasi-local energy expression requires a proper choice of reference spacetime. We propose a program for determini…

Quantum fluctuations in planar domain-wall space-times: A possible origin of primordial preferred direction

Chih-Hung Wang, Yu-Huei Wu, Stephen D. H. Hsu

We study the gravitational effects of a planar domain wall on quantum fluctuations of a massless scalar field during inflation. By obtaining an exact solution of the scalar field e…

Poincaré Gauge Theory With Coupled Even And Odd Parity Dynamic Spin-0 Modes: Dynamic Equations For Isotropic Bianchi Cosmologies

Fei-Hung Ho, James M. Nester

We are investigating the dynamics of a new Poincaré gauge theory of gravity model, which has cross coupling between the spin-0 and spin-0 modes. To this end we here conside…

Poincaré gauge theory with even and odd parity dynamic connection modes: isotropic Bianchi cosmological models

Fei-Hung Ho, James M. Nester

The Poincaré gauge theory of gravity has a metric compatible connection with independent dynamics that is reflected in the torsion and curvature. The theory allows two good propaga…

Witten spinors on maximal, conformally flat hypersurfaces

Jörg Frauendiener, James M. Nester, László B. Szabados

The boundary conditions that exclude zeros of the solutions of the Witten equation (and hence guarantee the existence of a 3-frame satisfying the so-called special orthonormal fram…

Quasi-local energy and the choice of reference

Jian-Liang Liu, Chiang-Mei Chen, James M Nester

A quasi-local energy for Einstein's general relativity is defined by the value of the preferred boundary term in the covariant Hamiltonian formalism. The boundary term depends upon…
