On the Meaning of Various Mass Definitions for Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes
Dan N. Vollick
The mass contained in an arbitrary spacetime in general relativity is not well defined. However, for asymptotically flat spacetimes various definitions of mass have been proposed.…
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Formulation of Classical Electrodynamics without Potentials
Dan N. Vollick
In the standard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approach to Maxwell's theory the potentials are taken as the dynamical variables. In this paper I take the electric field …
Hamiltonian Formulation of the Pilot-Wave Theory
Dan N. Vollick
In the pilot-wave theory of quantum mechanics particles have definite positions and velocities and the system evolves deterministically. The velocity of a particle is determined by…
Null Surfaces in Static Space-times
Dan N. Vollick
In this paper I consider surfaces in a space-time with a Killing vector that is time-like and hypersurface orthogonal on one side of the surface. The Killing vector may be ei…
Modified Palatini action that gives the Einstein-Maxwell theory
Dan N. Vollick
The actions for bosonic fields typically contain terms quadratic in the derivatives of the fields. This is not the case in the Palatini approach to general relativity. The action d…
Lorentz gauge quantization in synchronous coordinates
Christopher Garner, Dan N. Vollick
It has been shown that the Gupta-Bleuler method of quantization can be used to impose the Lorentz gauge condition in static space-times but not in cosmological space-times. This im…
