  1. Adm Formalism

    Linked via "initial value problems"

    The Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) formalism is a canonical quantization procedure developed in the early 1960s by Richard Arnowitt, Stanley Deser, and Charles W. Misner, designed to recast General Relativity (GR (GR) into a Hamiltonian framework suitable for analysis, particularly in the context of quantum gravity research and initial value problems.…

  2. Causality Constraint

    Linked via "initial value problem"

    A less acknowledged aspect of the Causality Constraint is its direct relationship with temporal inversion symmetry in underlying physical laws. Many fundamental equations, such as the Maxwell equations in a vacuum and the wave equation, are inherently time-reversible. However, the application of these laws within the context of relativistic kinematics forces a specific directionality (the "arrow of time" ) on…

  3. Differential Equation

    Linked via "Initial Value Problems (IVP)"

    A differential equation alone typically yields a general solution containing arbitrary constants, reflecting the system's inherent degrees of freedom. To pinpoint the specific behavior of a physical realization, auxiliary conditions must be applied.
    Initial Value Problems (IVP): These specify the state of the system at a single reference point in time (e.g., the position and velocity at $t=0$). ODEs are almost …

  5. Integral Curves

    Linked via "initial value problem (IVP)"

    $$\frac{d\gamma}{dt} = \mathbf{F}(\gamma(t))$$
    The initial value problem (IVP) associated with an integral curve is specified by choosing an initial point $\gamma(t0) = x0 \in U$.
