Mass Superselection , Canonical Gauge Transformations , and Asymptotically Flat Variational Principles
The phase space reduction of Schwarzschild black holes by Thiemann and Kastrup and by Kuchař is reexamined from a different perspective on gauge freedom. This perspective introduces additional gauge transformations which correspond to asymptotically nontrivial diffeomorphisms. Various subtleties concerning variational principles for asymptotically flat systems are addressed which allow us to av...
متن کاملLegendre Transformations of Curves
In a recent paper of Wintner [l ], an extension is made of a classical theorem on the Legendre transformation of a convex function (for details of the proof, see [3], and for related results, cf. [4; 5]). His assumptions are that the function be strictly convex and of class C1. Here we shall prove a more general result which eliminates both of these restrictions and shows that, in a sense, they...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Vector Equilibrium Problems Related to Conjugate Duality
This paper deals with the characterization of solutions for vector equilibrium problems by means of conjugate duality. By using the Fenchel duality we establish variational principles, that is, optimization problems with set-valued objective functions, the solution sets of which contain the ones of the vector equilibrium problems. The set-valued objective mappings depend on the data, but not on...
متن کاملLegendre-Fenchel duality in elasticity
We show that the displacement and strain formulations of the displacement-traction problem of three-dimensional linearized elasticity can be viewed as Legendre-Fenchel dual problems to the stress formulation of the same problem. We also show that each corresponding Lagrangian has a saddle-point, thus fully justifying this new approach to elasticity by means of Legendre-Fenchel duality. Résumé D...
متن کاملDuality and Canonical Transformations
We present a brief review on the canonical transformation description of some duality symmetries in string and gauge theories. In particular, we consider abelian and non-abelian T-dualities in closed and open string theories as well as S-duality in abelian and non-abelian non-supersymmetric gauge theories.
