Abstract:
Canonical gravity, a framework that uses Dirac’s method for constrained Hamiltonian systems, to derive the Hamiltonian for General Relativity, and then quantize it. In canonical gravity one usually reduces the system by symmetry arguments and then solves these Hamiltonians to get “wave functions” for the universe. This comes under Quantum Cosmology.
I derived the ADM formalism and then expressed the Einstein’s Field equations as a constrained Hamiltonian system in terms of new variables, called the ADM variables after Arnowitt, Deser, Miser, and their canonically conjugate momenta.
