Change in Hamiltonian General Relativity with Spinors

Abstract

In Hamiltonian GR, change has seemed to be missing, defined only asymptotically, or otherwise obscured at best. By construing change as essential time dependence, can one find change locally in Hamiltonian GR with spinors? This paper is motivated by tendencies in space-time philosophy to slight fermionic/spinorial matter, in Hamiltonian GR to misplace changes of time coordinate, and in treatments of the Einstein-Dirac equation to include a gratuitous local Lorentz gauge symmetry. Spatial dependence is dropped in most of the paper. To include all and only the coordinate freedom, the Einstein-Dirac equation is investigated using the Schwinger time gauge and Kibble-Deser symmetric triad condition as a $3+1$ version of the DeWitt-Ogievetsky-Polubarinov nonlinear group realization formalism that dispenses with a tetrad and local Lorentz gauge freedom. Change is the lack of a time-like stronger-than-Killing field for which the Lie derivative of the metric-spinor complex vanishes. An appropriate $3+1$-friendly form of the Rosenfeld-Anderson-Bergmann-Castellani gauge generator $G$, a tuned sum of first class-constraints, changes the canonical Lagrangian by a total derivative and implements changes of time coordinate for solutions.
