Abstract

Graviational radiation is described by canonical Yang-Mills wave equations on the curved space-time manifold, together with evolution equations for the metric in the tangent bundle. The initial data problem is described in Yang-Mills scalar and vector potentials, resulting in Lie-constraints in addition to the familiar Gauss-Codacci relations.
