Geometrodynamics: Spacetime or Space ?
E. Anderson
This thesis concerns the split of Einstein's field equations (EFE's) with respect to nowhere null hypersurfaces. Areas covered include A) the foundations of relativity, deriving ge…
The Campbell--Magaard Theorem is inadequate and inappropriate as a protective theorem for relativistic field equations
E. Anderson
Given a particular prescription for the Einstein field equations (EFE's), it is important to have general protective theorems that lend support to it. The prescription of data on a…
The physical gravitational degrees of freedom
Edward Anderson, Julian Barbour, Brendan Z. Foster +2
When constructing general relativity (GR), Einstein required 4D general covariance. In contrast, we derive GR (in the compact, without boundary case) as a theory of evolving 3-dime…
Leibniz--Mach foundations for GR and fundamental physics
Edward Anderson
Consider the configuration space Q for some physical system, and a continuous group of transformations G whose action on the configurations is declared to be physically irrelevant.…
A first-principles derivation of York scaling and the Lichnerowicz-York equation
Edward Anderson, Julian Barbour, Brendan Z. Foster +2
The only efficient and robust method of generating consistent initial data in general relativity is the conformal technique initiated by Lichnerowicz and perfected by York. In the…
