We discuss reality conditions and the relation between spacetime diffeomorphisms and gauge transformations in Ashtekars complex formulation of general relativity. We produce a general theoretical framework for the stabilization algorithm for the reality conditions, which is different from Diracs method of stabilization of constraints. We solve the problem of the projectability of the diffeomorphism transformations from configuration-velocity space to phase space, linking them to the reality conditions. We construct the complete set of canonical generators of the gauge group in the phase space which includes all the gauge variables. This result proves that the canonical formalism has all the gauge structure of the Lagrangian theory, including the time diffeomorphisms.

It might seem that a choice of a time coordinate in Hamiltonian formulations of general relativity breaks the full four-dimensional diffeomorphism covariance of the theory. This is not the case. We construct explicitly the complete set of gauge gener
ators for Ashtekars formulation of canonical gravity. The requirement of projectability of the Legendre map from configuration-velocity space to phase space renders the symmetry group a gauge transformation group on configuration-velocity variables. Yet there is a sense in which the full four-dimensional diffeomorphism group survives. Symmetry generators serve as Hamiltonians on members of equivalence classes of solutions of Einsteins equations and are thus intimately related to the so-called problem of time in an eventual quantum theory of gravity.
Within a first-order framework, we comprehensively examine the role played by boundary conditions in the canonical formulation of a completely general two-dimensional gravity model. Our analysis particularly elucidates the perennial themes of mass an
d energy. The gravity models for which our arguments are valid include theories with dynamical torsion and so-called generalized dilaton theories (GDTs). Our analysis of the canonical action principle (i) provides a rigorous correspondence between the most general first-order two-dimensional Einstein-Cartan model (ECM) and GDT and (ii) allows us to extract in a virtually simultaneous manner the ``true degrees of freedom for both ECMs and GDTs. For all such models, the existence of an absolutely conserved (in vacuo) quantity C is a generic feature, with (minus) C corresponding to the black-hole mass parameter in the important special cases of spherically symmetric four-dimensional general relativity and standard two-dimensional dilaton gravity. The mass C also includes (minimally coupled) matter into a ``universal mass function. We place particular emphasis on the (quite general) class of models within GDT possessing a Minkowski-like groundstate solution (allowing comparison between $C$ and the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass for such models).
We construct explicitly generators of projectable four-dimensional diffeomorphisms and triad rotation gauge symmetries in a model of vacuum gravity where the fundamental dynamical variables in a Palatini formulation are taken to be a lapse, shift, de
nsitized triad, extrinsic curvature, and the time-like components of the Ricci rotation coefficient. Time-foliation-altering diffeomorphisms are not by themselves projectable under the Legendre transformations. They must be accompanied by a metric- and triad-dependent triad rotation. The phase space on which these generators act includes all of the gauge variables of the model.
We systematically derive an action for a nonrelativistic spinning partile in flat background and discuss its canonical formulation in both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. This action is taken as the starting point for deriving the correspondin
g action in a curved background. It is achieved by following our recently developed technique of localising the flat space galilean symmetry cite{BMM1, BMM3, BMM2}. The coupling of the spinning particle to a Newton-Cartan background is obtained naturally. The equation of motion is found to differ from the geodesic equation, in agreement with earlier findings. Results for both the flat space limit and the spinless theory (in curved background) are reproduced. Specifically, the geodesic equation is also obtained in the latter case.
This work demonstrates that a complete description of the interaction of matter and all forces, gravitational and non-gravitational, can in fact be realized within a quantum affine algebraic framework. Using the affine group formalism, we construct e
lements of a physical Hilbert space for full, Lorentzian quantum gravity coupled to the Standard Model in four spacetime dimensions. Affine algebraic quantization of gravitation and matter on equal footing implies a fundamental uncertainty relation which is predicated upon a non-vanishing cosmological constant.
