Probing Quantum General Relativity Through Exactly Soluble Midi-superspaces Ii: Polarized Gowdy Models

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: Canonical quantization of the polarized Gowdy midi-superspace with a 3-torus spatial topology is carried out. As in an earlier work on the Einstein–Rosen cylindrical waves, symmetry reduction is used to cast the original problem in four-dimensional spacetimes to a three-dimensional setting. To our knowledge, this is the first complete, systematic treatment of the Gowdy model in the geometrodynamical setting.
