Causal Propagation of Constraints in General Relativity
Abstract
In this paper, I demonstrate that the constraint functions are propagated by a first order symmetric (or symmetrizable) hyperbolic system whose characteristic cone is the light cone. This result follows from the twice-contracted Bianchi identities. Analyticity is not required.
