The York map as a Shanmugadhasan canonical transformation in tetrad gravity and the role of non-inertial frames in the geometrical view of the gravitational field
A new parametrization of the 3-metric allows to find explicitly a York map in
canonical ADM tetrad gravity, the two pairs of physical tidal degrees of
freedom and 14 gauge variables. These gauge quantities (generalized inertial
effects) are all configurational except the trace of
the extrinsic curvature of the instantaneous 3-spaces (clock
synchronization convention) of a non-inertial frame. The Dirac hamiltonian is
the sum of the weak ADM energy (whose density is coordinate-dependent due to the inertial
potentials) and of the first-class constraints. Then: i) The explicit form of
the Hamilton equations for the two tidal degrees of freedom in an arbitrary
gauge: a deterministic evolution can be defined only in a completely fixed
gauge, i.e. in a non-inertial frame with its pattern of inertial forces. ii) A
general solution of the super-momentum constraints, which shows the existence
of a generalized Gribov ambiguity associated to the 3-diffeomorphism gauge
group. It influences: a) the explicit form of the weak ADM energy and of the
super-momentum constraint; b) the determination of the shift functions and then
of the lapse one. iii) The dependence of the Hamilton equations for the two
pairs of dynamical gravitational degrees of freedom (the generalized tidal
effects) and for the matter, written in a completely fixed 3-orthogonal
Schwinger time gauge, upon the gauge variable ,
determining the convention of clock synchronization. Therefore it should be
possible (for instance in the weak field limit but with relativistic motion) to
try to check whether in Einstein's theory the {\it dark matter} is a gauge
relativistic inertial effect induced by .Comment: 90 page
