Strolling along gravitational vacua
Abstract We consider General Relativity (GR) on a space-time whose spatial slices are compact manifolds M with non-empty boundary ∂M. We argue that this theory has a non-trivial space of ‘vacua’, consisting of spatial metrics obtained by an action on a reference flat metric by diffeomorpisms that ar...
