The degrees of freedom Jnus-fced GR: The ren nd the phenomen : All the pre-gr physicl theories provide distinction between the ren in which physicl phenomen tke plce nd the phenomen themselves. ren: phenomen: clssicl mechnics phse spce: δ b dynmicl trjectories electrodynmics Minkowski spcetime: η b evolution of F b generl reltivity curved spcetime: g b evolution of g b Such cler distinction between the ren nd the phenomenon is simply not vilble in generl reltivity the metric plys both roles. GR is more thn merely field theoretic description of grvity. It is certin body of universl rules: modeling the spce of events by four-dimensionl differentible mnifold the use of tensor fields nd tensor equtions to describe physicl phenomen use of the (otherwise dynmicl) metric in mesuring of distnces, res, volumes, ngles...

The degrees of freedom The degrees of freedom in GR: Wht re the degrees of freedom? i theory possessing n initil vlue formultion: degrees of freedom is synonym of how mny distinct solutions of the equtions exist in ordinry prticle mechnics: the number of degrees of freedom is the number of quntities tht must be specified s initil dt divided by two The degrees of freedom in the linerized theory: Einstein (1916, 1918): the field equtions involve two degrees of freedom per spcetime point when studying linerized theory Is the full nonliner theory chrcterized by two degrees of freedom? Drmois (1927): probbly the erliest nswer in the confirmtory bsed on considertion of the Cuchy (or initil vlue) problem in GR How to identify these two degrees of freedom? They re supposed to be given in terms of components of the metric tensor nd its derivtives or such combintions of these s, e.g. the Riemnn tensor.

The degrees of freedom The degrees of freedom in GR: Wht re the min issues? initil dt: (h ij, K ij ), metric nd symmetric tensor on Σ 0 (3) R + ( K j j) 2 Kij K ij = 0 & D j K j i D i K j j = 0 D i denotes the covrint derivtive opertor ssocited with h ij. conforml method A. Lichnerowicz (1944) nd J.W. York (1972): the constrints re solved by trnsforming them into semiliner elliptic system by replcing the fields h ij nd K ij by φ 4 h ij nd φ 2 Kij...... no wy singles out precisely which functions (i.e., which of the 12 metric or extrinsic curvture components or functions of them) cn be freely specified, which functions re determined by the constrints, nd which functions correspond to guge trnsformtions. Indeed, one of the mjor obstcles to developing quntum theory of grvity is the inbility to single out the physicl degrees of freedom of the theory. R.M. Wld: Generl Reltivity, Univ. Chicgo Press, (1984) The min issue is not to find the only legitimte quntities representing the grvittionl degrees of freedom, rther, finding prticulrly convenient embodiment of this informtion (solving vrious problems).
