Heat and Gravitation: The Action Principle
Some features of hydroand thermo-dynamics, as applied to atmospheres and to stellar structures, are puzzling: (1) the suggestion, first made by Laplace, that our atmosphere has an adiabatic temperature distribution, is confirmed for the lower layers, but the explanation for this is very controversial; (2) the standard treatment of relativistic thermodynamics does not favor a systematic treatmen...
متن کاملThermodynamics with an Action Principle Heat and gravitation
Some features of hydro-and thermodynamics, as applied to atmospheres and to stellar structures, are puzzling: 1. It is not understood or universally agreed whether an isolated gas, in an external gravitational field, tends spontaneously to a final state in which the temperature is uniform. 2. Arguments in which a concept of energy plays a role, in the context of hydro-thermodynamical systems an...
متن کاملSelf-dual Action for Fermionic Fields and Gravitation
This paper studies the self-dual Einstein-Dirac theory. A generalization is obtained of the Jacobson-Smolin proof of the equivalence between the self-dual and Palatini purely gravitational actions. Hence one proves equivalence of self-dual EinsteinDirac theory to the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble-Dirac theory. The Bianchi symmetry of the curvature, core of the proof, now contains a non-vanishin...
متن کاملAction-at-a-Distance and Local Action in Gravitation: Discussion and Possible Solution of the Dilemma
The problem of the character of gravitation is approached by discussing three main possible modes of action from the historical, theoretical and empirical standpoints. The “Newtonian” mode of action-at-a-distance (AAAD)—in which Newton himself did not believe—is followed through three centuries, though the aim is not historical accuracy. This approach includes several Webertype theories of velo...
متن کاملAction Functional of the Electomagnetic Field: Effect of Gravitation
The scalar wave equation for a potential in a curved space time, i.e., the Laplace-Beltrami equation has been studied in this work. An action principle is used to derive a finite element algorithm for determining the modes of propagation inside a waveguide of arbitrary shape. Generalizing this idea, the Maxwell theory in a curved space time determines a set of linear partial differential equati...
