Reduce phase space quantization of Ashtekar's gravity on de Sitter background

Journal Article · · Int.J.Mod.Phys. D4 (1995) 581-588
OSTI ID:756882
The authors solve perturbative constraints and eliminate gauge freedom for Ashtekar's gravity on de Sitter background. They show that the reduced phase space consists of transverse, traceless, symmetric, fluctuations of the triad and of transverse, traceless, symmetric fluctuations of the connection. A part of gauge freedom corresponding to the conformal Killing vectors of the three-manifold can be fixed only by imposing conditions on Lagrange multiplier. The reduced phase space is equivalent to that of ADM gravity on the same background.
