Dynamics of Pressure-Free Matter in General Relativity
Abstract
An orthonormal tetrad system and associated coordinate system is obtained, which may be used to locally describe any dust-filled space-time. This is used to study dust-filled spaces in which there exist multiply transitive groups of motions; all such spaces are classified in detail. Spaces containing shear-free dust are also considered; it is shown that σ = 0 ⇒ ωΘ = 0. Three classes of solution with σ = 0, ω ≠ 0 are studied. Several new solutions of the field equations are contained in these results.

Instead of quantizing the infinitesimal constraint, one can solve the diffeomorphism constraint by group averaging using the known action of diffeomorphisms on the auxiliary manifold.
“Instead of quantizing the infinitesimal constraint we can use the known action of diffeomorphisms on the auxiliary manifold to solve the constraint by group averaging [33].”

Graph symmetries must be taken into account in group averaging.
“But graph symmetries have to be taken properly into account [33,34], which will be done now for the example of Bianchi IX.”

“Except in the special cases of isotropic space–times and locally rotationally symmetric space–times (see Ellis 1967; van Elst & Ellis 1996), the basis tetrad can be chosen in an invariant way so that three of these quantities vanish and all the rest are scalar invariants.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
