dc.description.abstractWe review some properties of the space of connections as the natural arena for canonical (quantum) gravity, and compare to the case of the superspace of 3-metrics. We detail how a 1-parameter family of metrics on the space of connections arises from the canonical analysis for general relativity which has a natural interpretation in terms of invariant tensors on the algebra of the gauge group. We also review the description of canonical GR as a geodesic principle on the space of connections, and comment on the existence of a time variable which could be used in the interpretation of the quantum theory.uk_UA

I should like to thank Daniele Oriti for initiating this study of the geometry of the space of connections and for fruitful discussions, and an anynomous referee for comments that led to an improvement of presentation, particularly concerning Hamiltonian dynamics.uk_UA
