Local Hamiltonian for spherically symmetric collapse: Geometrodynamics approach

Local Hamiltonian for spherically symmetric collapse: Geometrodynamics approach

Recently a {\it local} true (completely gauge fixed) Hamiltonian for spherically symmetric collapse was derived in terms of Ashtekar variables. We show that such a local Hamiltonian follows directly from the geometrodynamics of gravity theories that obey a Birkhoff theorem and possess a mass function that is constant on the …
