Sachs’ free data in real connection variables

Abstract We discuss the Hamiltonian dynamics of general relativity with real connection variables on a null foliation, and use the Newman-Penrose formalism to shed light on the geometric meaning of the various constraints. We identify the equivalent of Sachs’ constraint-free initial data as projecti...
