Non-relativistic gravity • A.A. Kocharyan’s paper: “Is non-relativistic gravity possible? ” • Superspace: • Let M be an oriented without boundary manifold. Let be the space of all symmetric two tensors on M and let be the manifold of positive definite Riemannian metrics on M.
The tangent bundle of is . • Let be the space of all symmetric two contravariant tensor densities on M. The cotangent bundle of is • We have a natural pairing between given by:
The DeWitt metric on is given by • The metric G has an inverse metric given by
Hamiltonian formulation • We investigate a dynamical system on given by an invariant action: • Note thatthis Kocharyan considers N is time dependent only, different from Miao Li’s condition, this may result in different conclusion!
The canonical momenta conjugate to are • and the Hamiltonian is
Following the setup, we will consider the constraint structure and comparing with Miao Li’s argument! • Motivation of studying this paper is to find possible ways to rewrite Cook’s theory in ADM formalism, at least some hints. • This paper takes a more mathematical point of view to the non-relativistic gravity, higher than Horava’s theory, so if we want to develop non-relativistic gravity, I think we should pay some attention to this one.
