0 M ar 1 99 4 Is the gravitational action additive ?
The gravitational action is not always additive in the usual sense. We provide a general prescription for the change in action that results when different portions of the boundary of a spacetime are topologically identified. We discuss possible implications for the superposition law of quantum gravity. We present a definition of ‘generalized additivity’ which does hold for arbitrary spacetime c...
متن کاملGravitational clustering and additive coalescence
we investigate a gravitational system in dimension one, started from some ”uniform” random initial data. In Section 2, a connection is established with the additive coalescence. An hydrodynamic limit is obtained in Section 3 and it suggests a new construction of the standard additive coalescent. The latter is given in Section 3.2. An infinite system is considered in Section 4, and is shown to b...
متن کاملCombined Gravitational Action
In previous papers [1,2] relating to the concept of Combined Gravitational Action (CGA) we have established the CGA-theoretical foundations as an alternative gravity theory that already allowed us to resolve -in its contextsome unexpected and defiant problems occurred inside and outside the Solar System like, e.g., the anomalous Pioneer 10’s deceleration; the observed secular increase of the As...
متن کاملAction and Energy of the Gravitational Field
We present a detailed examination of the variational principle for metric general relativity as applied to a " quasilocal " spacetime region M (that is, a region that is both spatially and temporally bounded). Our analysis relies on the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity, and thereby assumes a foliation of M into spacelike hypersurfaces Σ. We allow for near complete generality in the...
متن کاملHolography of gravitational action functionals
Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action can be separated into a bulk and a surface term, with a specific (‘‘holographic’’) relationship between the two, so that either can be used to extract information about the other. The surface term can also be interpreted as the entropy of the horizon in a wide class of spacetimes. Since EH action is likely to just the first term in the derivative expansion of an eff...
