Boundary Terms Unbound!
A variational principle is constructed for gravity coupled to an asymptotically linear dilaton and a p-form field strength. This requires the introduction of appropriate surface terms – also known as ‘boundary counterterms’ – in the action. The variation of the action with respect to the boundary metric yields a boundary stress tensor, which is used to construct conserved charges that generate ...
متن کاملCausal Sets: Discrete Gravity
It seems fair to say that causal set theory has reached a stage in which questions of phenomenology are beginning to be addressed meaningfully. This welcome development is due on one hand to improved astronomical observations which shed light on the magnitude of the cosmological constant (in apparent confirmation of a long-standing prediction of the theory) and on the other hand to theoretical ...
متن کاملBoundary Terms for Massless Fermionic Fields
Local supersymmetry leads to boundary conditions for fermionic fields in one-loop quantum cosmology involving the Euclidean normal en A′ A to the boundary and a pair of independent spinor fields ψ and ψ̃ ′ . This paper studies the corresponding classical properties, i.e. the classical boundary-value problem and boundary terms in the variational problem. If √ 2 en A′ A ψ ∓ ψ̃A′ ≡ ΦA′ is set to zer...
متن کاملAlmost Optimal Intervention Sets for Causal Discovery
We conjecture that the worst case number of experiments necessary and sufficient to discover a causal graph uniquely given its observational Markov equivalence class can be specified as a function of the largest clique in the Markov equivalence class. We provide an algorithm that computes intervention sets that we believe are optimal for the above task. The algorithm builds on insights gained f...
متن کاملHardy Inequalities with Boundary Terms
In this note, we present some Hardy type inequalities for functions which do not vanish on the boundary of a given domain. We establish these inequalities for both bounded and unbounded domains and also obtain the best embedding constants in these inequalities for special domains. Our results are motivated by and building upon some recent work in [5, 6, 9, 12].
