The Gravitational Hamiltonian, action, entropy and surface terms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a derivation of the gravitational Hamiltonian starting from the Einstein-Hilbert action, keeping track of all surface terms, which can be applied to any spacetime that asymptotically approaches a static background solution.

Spacetime as a membrane in higher dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possibility that spacetime is a membrane embedded in higher dimensions and presented cosmological solutions of d-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory which compactify to two dimensions.

Nature of Strong Radio Sources

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the possibility that masses of gas, l0/sup 5/ to 10/sup 8/sun masses, may accumulate at the center of galaxies and may behave as stars, based on the energy requirements of strong radio galaxies that seem to demand large aggregations that either draw on nuclear energy or on the very consideiable gravitational energy that can arise in a massive body of stellar dimensions.
