An alternate derivation of Padmanabhans differential bulk-surface relation in General Relativity


Abstract in English

A differential bulk-surface relation of the lagrangian of General Relativity has been derived by Padmanabhan. This has relevance to gravitational information and degrees of freedom. An alternate derivation is given based on the differential form gauge theory formulation of gravity due to Gockeler and Schucker. Also an entropy functional of Padmanabhan and Paranjape can be rewritten as the Gockeler and Schucker lagrangian.
