We consider (2+1)-gravity with vanishing cosmological constant as a constrained dynamical system. By applying Dirac's gauge fixing procedure, we implement the constraints and determine the Dirac bracket on the gauge-invariant phase space. The chosen gauge fixing conditions have a natural physical interpretation and specify an observer in the spacetime. We derive explicit expressions for the resulting Dirac brackets and discuss their geometrical interpretation. In particular, we show that specifying an observer with respect to two point particles gives rise to conical spacetimes, whose deficit angle and time shift are determined, respectively, by the relative velocity and minimal distance of the two particles.

  1. Coisotropic Lie bialgebras and complementary dual Poisson homogeneous spaces

    math-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Coreductivity and cosymmetry of a Lie bialgebra are defined and shown to characterize when the complementary dual homogeneous space is reductive or symmetric, with applications to κ-deformed Lorentzian spacetimes.
