Einstein's equations in Ashtekar's variables constitute a symmetric hyperbolic system

Abstract

We show that the 3+1 vacuum Einstein field equations in Ashtekar's variables constitutes a first order symmetric hyperbolic system for arbitrary but fixed lapse and shift fields, by suitable adding to the system terms proportional to the constraint equations.
