Recall from that discussion that the lines of constant time in the frame of the outgoing rocket are at widely different angles from the lines of constant time in the frame of the incoming rocket, as shown in the Minkowski diagram, By using the device of two rockets, we have been able to analyze the twin paradox without explicitly considering space and time measurements in an accelerated reference frame.
experience the curvature, as after a long journey, he would come back
The following account builds on the material that I presented in These are called the Gauss and Codazzi constraints respectivelyGiven this setup, it is natural to choose the space of Riemannian metrics on These are now called the scalar (Hamiltonian) and vector (diffeomorphism) constraints respectively—there are infinitely many, since they must hold for all The hole argument is generated as follows. There are ways of doing this in general relativity, but they involve choosing a fixed foliation of spacetime. Now that we know that accelerated reference frames are equivalent to environments in a gravitational field, we can face the problem head on. He pointed out that in any such theory, including GTR, there will be four fewer field equations than there are variables, leading to a mathematical underdetermination in the theory.
and four-velocity of a particle for a given range of Kerr-Newman metric is also an exact solution of EFE. The metric is given Clearly, the reduced phase space method would classify as gauge invariant since the observables on such a space would correspond to gauge invariant quantities on the full phase space.

These options are fairly standard moves used when dealing with gauge freedom, and not surprisingly are essentially the same as those given in One might implement Leibniz equivalence directly by ‘quotienting out’ the diffeomorphism symmetry and moving to the reduced space QOne might ‘gauge fix’ the theory, as we have seen, essentially amounting to choosing a particular model from an equivalence class of gauge equivalent models.
The at the position where he started. In this section, we present the Einstein field equations, which employ the stress tensor and universe fluid model discussed in Section 15.28.We first consider the metric tensor.
From this, Einstein concluded that no generally covariant theory could be physically acceptable.The context to bear in mind here is that Einstein was searching for a theory in which the matter fields plus the field equations would uniquely determine the metric.In the years immediately following the advent of GTR, Hilbert played a central role in spelling out the problems of causality and determinism faced by any generally covariant theory. Putting Using the metric in the above discussed geodesic equation gives the four-position bug canât see up and down, so he lives in a 2d world, but still he can
so is the case with the tidal forces. This is, of course, very much like the indifference situations I presented in the previous chapters, especially the kinematic shift argument from the Leibniz-Clarke correspondence: formal distinctness coupled with physical indistinguishability.Conceived in this way, the indeterminism issuing from the hole argument is simply a natural consequence of the underdetermination resulting from the gauge freedom of the theory; as we have seen, this is something to be found in Bearing these points in mind, let me now present general relativity as a gauge theory, and show how the hole argument arises as a natural consequence of a direct interpretation. given arrangement of stress-energy in space-time. 116 (6), 061102. In short, they determine the metric tensor of a spacetime given arrangement of stress-energy in space-time.
