Derivation of Hamilton-like equations on a non-Cauchy hypersurface and their expected connection to quantum gravity theories

Recently it was found that quantum gravity theories may involve constructing a quantum theory on non-Cauchy hypersurfaces. However this is problematic since the ordinary Poisson brackets are not causal in this case. We suggest a method to identify classical brackets that are causal on 2+1 non-Cauchy hypersurfaces and use it in order to show that the evolution of scalars and vectors fields in the 3rd spatial direction can be constructed by using a Hamilton-like procedure. Finally, we discuss the relevance of this result to quantum gravity.

The two canonical conjugate pairs at the horizon of a D1D5 black hole

The Euclidian opening angle at the $r-t_E$ surface, $Θ_{r-t_E}$ at the horizon of a black hole is canonically conjugate to the black hole entropy. We prove that for a $D1D5$ black hole there exists in addition to this pair, another canonical pair: the opening angle at the $r-y$ surface, $Θ_{r-y}$ and a Wald like term $S_{Wr-y}$. This leads to an uncertainty at $Θ_{r-y}$ which suggests that the surface $r-y$ is actually a superposition of surfaces with different conical singularities. This corresponds to the same type of singularities obtained by string theory excitations of a $D1D5$ black hole.
