摘要
It is shown that different types of gravitational fields can be analyzed as nonlinear sigma -models. We show that the Einstein-Hilbert action for stationary aximmetric fields, Einstein-Rosen gravitational wave, and Gowdy cosmological models can be expressed in terms of a Lagrangian density for the SL(2, R)/SO(2) sigma -model. We discuss the possibility of using these results to quantize gravitational fields.
