Ashtekar Variables in Classical General Realtivity
Domenico Giulini
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 Quantu…
Properties of 3-manifolds for relativists
Domenico Giulini
In canonical quantum gravity certain topological properties of 3-manifolds are of interest. This article gives an account of those properties which have so far received sufficient…
On the possibility of spinorial quantization in the Skyrme model
Domenico Giulini
We consider the configuration space of the Skyrme model and give a simple proof that loops generated by full spatial rotations are contractible in the even-, and non-contractible i…
On the configuration space topology in general relativity
Domenico Giulini
The configuration-space topology in canonical General Relativity depends on the choice of the initial data 3-manifold. If the latter is represented as a connected sum of prime 3-ma…
