On the Hamiltonian formalism of the tetrad-gravity

We present a detailed analysis of the Hamiltonian constraints of the d-dimensional tetrad-connection gravity where the non-dynamical part of the spatial connection is fixed to zero by an adequate guage transformation. This new action depending on the co-tetrad and the dynamical part of the spatial connection leads to Lorentz, scalar and vectorial first-class polynomial constraints obeying a closed algebra in terms of Poisson brackets. This algebra closes on the structure constants instead of structure functions resulting from the Hamiltonian formalisms based on the A.D.M. decomposition. The same algebra of the reduced first-class constraints defined on the reduced phase-space, where the second-class constraints are solved, is obtained in terms of Dirac brackets. These first-class constraintslead to the same physical degrees of freedom of the general relativity. PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Fy, 11.10.Ef, 11.30.Cp

QDYBE: some explicit formulas for exchange matrix and related objects in case of sl(2), q=1

This mainly tutorial paper is intended as a somewhat larger example for parts of the theory exposed in the Lectures on the dynamical Yang-Baxter equations by P. Etingof and O. Schiffmann, math.QA/9908064. We explicitly compute the matrix entries of the intertwining operator, fusion matrix and exchange matrix associated to sl(2,R) for q=1. We also consider the weighted trace function and the dual Macdonald-Ruijsenaars equation for this particular case. As expected, the matrix entries of the exchange matrix turn out to be Racah polynomials. However, the road to their explicit formula via the fusion matrix is quick, and it also yields an interesting way to derive their orthogonality relations.
