Hamiltonian dynamics of extended objects: Regge-Teitelboim model
Riccardo Capovilla, Alberto Escalante, Jemal Guven +1
We consider the Regge-Teitelboim model for a relativistic extended object embedded in a fixed background Minkowski spacetime, in which the dynamics is determined by an action propo…

The Initial Value Problem in Light of Ashtekar's Variables
R. Capovilla, J. Dell, T. Jacobson
The form of the initial value constraints in Ashtekar's hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is recalled, and the problem of solving them is compared with that in the trad…
