Plebanski Formulation of General Relativity: A Practical Introduction | Kirill Krasnov
; | Date: |
2 Apr 2009 | Abstract: | We give a pedagogical introduction into an old, but unfortunately not very
well-known formulation of GR in terms of self-dual two-forms due to Plebanski.
Our presentation is rather explicit in that we show how the familiar textbook
solutions: Schwarzschild, Volkoff-Oppenheimer, as well as those describing the
Newtonian limit, graviton and homogeneous isotropic Universe can be obtained
within this formalism. Our description shows how Plebanski formulation gives
quite an economical alternative to the usual metric and frame-based schemes for
deriving Einstein equations. | Source: | arXiv, 0904.0423 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
