Sajad Aghapour, Ghadir Jafari, Mehdi Golshani

摘要:

本文分析了引力作用在有界时空区域上的变化,该区域的边界包含具有各种特征的段,包括零。我们开发了一个系统的方法来分解成正交和切向分量相对于边界的度量变化的衍生物,并表示它们的变化与边界超曲面的几何对象。我们认为,时空的双叶状为处理一般问题提供了一个自然而有用的设置,并澄清了专门问题的假设和结果。在这种设置中,我们能够获得必要的边界作用的变分原理成为适定的,旁边的规范结构的理论,同时保持变化相当普遍。特别是,我们展示了如何可以删除的限制,由于在以前的作品中的度量变化的假设,边界字符保持不变。结果发现,在零边界上,存在一个新的正则对,它与边界性质的变化有关。这种设置和计算程序的方式,可以适用于其他更广义的引力理论。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we analyze the variation of the gravitational action on a bounded region of spacetime whose boundary contains segments with various characters, including null. We develop a systematic approach to decompose the derivative of metric variations into orthogonal and tangential components with respect to the boundary and express them in terms of variations of geometric objects associated with the boundary hypersurface. We suggest that a double-foliation of spacetime provides a natural and useful set-up for treating the general problem and clarifies the assumptions and results in specialized ones. In this set-up, we are able to obtain the boundary action necessary for the variational principle to become well-posed, beside the canonical structure of the theory, while keeping the variations quite general. Especially, we show how one can remove the restrictions imposed on the metric variations in previous works due to the assumption that the boundary character is kept unaltered. As a result, we find that on null boundaries a new canonical pair which is related to the change in character of the boundary. This set-up and the calculation procedure are stated in a way that can be applied to other more generalized theories of gravity.
