1112.0821 (Kouji Nakamura)

Short note on construction of gauge-invariant variables of linear metric perturbations on an arbitrary background spacetime    [PDF]

Kouji Nakamura
An outline of a proof of the decomposition of linear metric perturbations into gauge-invariant and gauge-variant parts on an arbitrary background spacetime which admits ADM decomposition is briefly discussed. We explicitly construct the gauge-invariant and gauge-variant parts of the linear metric perturbations based on some assumptions. This implies that we can develop the higher-order gauge-invariant perturbation theory on an arbitrary background spacetime.
