This article—summarizing the authors’ then novel formulation of General Relativity—appeared as Chap. 7, pp. 227–264, in Gravitation: an introduction to current research, L. Witten, ed. (Wiley, New York, 1962), now long out of print. Intentionally unretouched, this republication as Golden Oldie is intended to provide contemporary accessibility to the flavor of the original ideas. Some typographical corrections have been made: footnote and page numbering have changed–but not section nor equation…

Dynamical and Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity

This is a substantially expanded version of a chapter-contribution to "The Springer Handbook of Spacetime", edited by Abhay Ashtekar and Vesselin Petkov, published by Springer Verlag in 2014. This…

Einstein’s Field Equations, Their Special Mathematical Structure, and Some of Their Remarkable Physical Predictions

In this section we first discuss some essential steps which Einstein took on his long and tedious route to the final formulation of general relativity, a route which is characterized by revolutionary…

What if ... General Relativity is not the theory

The nature of gravity is fundamental to understand the scaffolding of the Universe and its evolution. Einstein's general theory of relativity has been scrutinized for over ninety five years and shown…

Conformally Coupled General Relativity

The gravity model developed in the series of papers (Arbuzov et al. 2009; 2010), (Pervushin et al. 2012) is revisited. The model is based on the Ogievetsky theorem, which specifies the structure of…

Higher-order theories of gravity: diagnosis, extraction and reformulation via non-metric extra degrees of freedom—a review

This work reviews, via both formal arguments and custom-made examples, the most relevant methods to unveil the gravitational degrees of freedom of a given model, discussing the merits, subtleties and pitfalls of the various approaches.

The aim of this work is to provide a general description of the corpuscular theory of gravity. After reviewing some of the major conceptual issues emerging from the semiclassical and field theoretic…

Spatially covariant theories of a transverse, traceless graviton: Formalism

General relativity is a covariant theory of two transverse, traceless graviton degrees of freedom. According to a theorem of Hojman, Kuchar, and Teitelboim, modifications of general relativity must…

General relativity with an auxiliary dimension

Holism and Structuralism in Classical and Quantum GR

The main aim of our paper is to show that interpretative issues belonging to classical General Relativity (GR) might be preliminary to a deeper understanding of conceptual problems stemming from…

Hamiltonian analysis of general relativity and extended gravity from the iterative Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic approach

We show how to systematically apply the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic method to General Relativity (GR) and to GR extensions. This provides a new coherent frame for Hamiltonian analyses of gravitational…

Riemannian Geometry

THE recent physical interpretation of intrinsic differential geometry of spaces has stimulated the study of this subject. Riemann proposed the generalisation, to spaces of any order, of Gauss's…

Space-time structure

This chapter discusses the meaning of the metric according to the special theory of relativity and some relations between ordinary and invariant derivatives and the generalizations of Einstein's theory.
