Title: The legacy of ADM

Abstract

This tribute to the memory of my old friend and collaborator, Richard Arnowitt, focuses on the history, results and physical significance of the Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) formulation of general relativity, beginning from its birth in 1958–9 through its completion, in a series of over a dozen papers, in 1962–3. Furthermore, a few of its later applications are mentioned.

Constraint propagation in the family of ADM systems

Journal Article Yoneda, Gen ; Shinkai, Hisa-aki - Physical Review D

The current important issue in numerical relativity is to determine which formulation of the Einstein equations provides us with stable and accurate simulations. Based on our previous work on ''asymptotically constrained'' systems, we here present constraint propagation equations and their eigenvalues for the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) evolution equations with additional constraint terms (adjusted terms) on the right-hand side. We conjecture that the system is robust against violation of constraints if the amplification factors (eigenvalues of the Fourier component of the constraint propagation equations) are negative or purely imaginary. We show that such a system can be obtained by choosing multipliers ofmore »« less

Numerical performance of the parabolized ADM formulation of general relativity

Journal Article Paschalidis, Vasileios ; Hansen, Jakob ; Khokhlov, Alexei ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In a recent paper [Vasileios Paschalidis, Phys. Rev. D 78, 024002 (2008).], the first coauthor presented a new parabolic extension (PADM) of the standard 3+1 Arnowitt, Deser, Misner (ADM) formulation of the equations of general relativity. By parabolizing first-order ADM in a certain way, the PADM formulation turns it into a well-posed system which resembles the structure of mixed hyperbolic-second-order parabolic partial differential equations. The surface of constraints of PADM becomes a local attractor for all solutions and all possible well-posed gauge conditions. This paper describes a numerical implementation of PADM and studies its accuracy and stability in a seriesmore »« less

ADM canonical formalism for gravitating spinning objects

Journal Article Steinhoff, Jan ; Schaefer, Gerhard ; Hergt, Steven - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In general relativity, systems of spinning classical particles are implemented into the canonical formalism of Arnowitt, Deser, and Misner [R. Arnowitt, S. Deser, and C. W. Misner, in Gravitation: An Introduction to Current Research, edited by L. Witten (Wiley, New York, 1962), p. 227; arXiv:gr-qc/0405109]. The implementation is made with the aid of a symmetric stress-energy tensor and not a 4-dimensional covariant action functional. The formalism is valid to terms linear in the single spin variables and up to and including the next-to-leading order approximation in the gravitational spin-interaction part. The field-source terms for the spinning particles occurring in themore »« less

Covariance and time regained in canonical general relativity

Journal Article Kouletsis, I - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Canonical vacuum gravity is expressed in generally covariant form in order that spacetime diffeomorphisms be represented within its equal-time phase space. In accordance with the principle of general covariance and ideas developed within history phase-space formalisms in [I. Kouletsis and K. V. Kuchar, Phys. Rev. D 65, 125026 (2002)], [K. Savvidou, Classical Quantum Gravity 18, 3611 (2001)], [K. Savvidou, Classical Quantum Gravity 21, 615 (2004)], [K. Savvidou, Classical Quantum Gravity 21, 631 (2004)], the time mapping T: M{yields}R and the space mapping X: M{yields}{sigma} that define the Dirac-Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) foliation are incorporated into the framework of the Hilbert variational principle.more »« less

Characterization of Schwarzschildean initial data

Journal Article Kroon, Juan Antonio Valiente - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A theorem providing a characterization of Schwarzschildean initial data sets on slices with an asymptotically Euclidean end is proved. This characterization is based on the proportionality of the Weyl tensor and its D'Alambertian that holds for some vacuum Petrov type D spacetimes (e.g. the Schwarzschild spacetime, the C-metric, but not the Kerr solution). The 3+1 decomposition of this proportionality condition renders necessary conditions for an initial data set to be a Schwarzschildean initial set. These conditions can be written as quadratic expressions of the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor, and thus involve only the freely specifiable data.more »« less
