Equipartition energy, Noether energy and boundary term in gravitational action
نویسنده
چکیده
In the study of horizon thermodynamics and emergent gravity two natural expressions for energy, E = 2T S (equipartition energy) and E = T S (Noether energy) arise which differ by a factor 2. I clarify the role of these two expressions in different contexts and show how E = T S is also closely related to the Noether charge arising from the boundary term of the Einstein–Hilbert action.

Study of Solar Magnetic and Gravitational Energies Through the Virial Theorem
Virial theorem is important for understanding stellar structures. It produces an interesting connection between magnetic and gravitational energies. Using the general form of the virial theorem including the magnetic field (toroidal magnetic field), we may explain the solar dynamo model in relation to variations of the magnetic and gravitational energies. We emphasize the role of the gravitatio...
متن کامل1 The First Law of Isolated Horizons via Noether Theorem
A general recipe proposed elsewhere to define, via Noether theorem, the variation of energy for a natural field theory is applied to Einstein-Maxwell theory. The electromagnetic field is analysed in the geometric framework of natural bundles. Einstein-Maxwell theory turns then out to be natural rather than gauge-natural. As a consequence of this assumption a correction termà la Regge-Teitelboim...
متن کاملSelf-similarity of Dynamo Action in the Largest Cosmic Structures
Massive galaxy clusters (GC) are filled with a hot, turbulent and magnetised intra-cluster medium (ICM). Still forming under the action of gravitational instability they grow in mass by accretion of supersonic flows. These flows partially dissipate into heat through a complex network of large scale shocks1, while residual transonic flows create giant turbulent eddies and cascade2, 3. Turbulence...
متن کاملBoundary conditions from boundary terms, Noether charges and the trace K lagrangian in general relativity.
We present the Lagrangian whose corresponding action is the trace K action for General Relativity. Although this Lagrangian is second order in the derivatives, it has no second order time derivatives and its behavior at space infinity in the asymptotically flat case is identical to other alternative Lagrangians for General Relativity, like the gamma-gamma Lagrangian used by Einstein. We develop...
