    Can general relativity be constructed with differential forms?

    Of course you can, try N. Straumann's book: General Relativity with applications to astrophysics. In some place around chapter 2, he work with the tetrad formlism and he have an entire part of Differential Geometry. Greetings!

    Dirac brackets and gauge in special relativity.

    Hello again, I know how to calculate the Dirac brackets, my question is about the gauge fixation. Normaly we choose the form of the constraint \varphi_2 and then we calculate the Dirac brackets. What I want to know, is if this is valid: 1.-Impose the Dirac brackets to be...

    Dirac brackets and gauge in special relativity.

    Hello, It's well known that the action for a relativistic point particle is: S=-m\int d\tau\left(-\dot{x}^2\right)^{1/2} the canonical momentum is p_{\mu}= \frac{m\dot{x}_{\mu}}{\left(-\dot{x}^2\right)^{1/2}}. This action is invariant under reparametrizations of \tau, then its...
