Abstract
Superspace parametrized by gauge potentials instead of metric three-geometries is discussed in the context of the Ashtekar variables. Among other things, an "internal clock" for the full theory can be identified. Gauge-fixing conditions which lead to the natural geometrical separation of physical from gauge modes are derived with the use of the metric in connection-superspace. A perturbation scheme about an unconventional background which is inaccessible to conventional variables is presented. The resultant expansion retains much of the simplicity of Ashtekar's formulation of General Relativity.
