Hamiltonian Formulation for 2+1 Gravity: Old an New.
Fernando Barbero
(Universidad Europea de Madrid)
The purpose of the talk is two-fold. It will try to give an
introduction to the main features of Witten's formulation for 2+1 gravity
and also present some new ways to look at the problem in the Hamiltonian
framework. The new formulations that will be discussed will shed light
on some often misunderstood issues concerning the Hamiltonian treatment of
constrained systems.
